Best Answer

The paxton boys were one of the first racial supremist groups. They had an intense hatred for Native Americans and slaughtered many of them and caused lots of problems for the Pennsylvanian government. If you have a Barnes and Noble or Books A Million or a Borders or any other book store like that you can go and get a book called "Massacre of the Conestogas" by: Jack Brubaker. It tells you the history of the Paxton Boys and their relationship with the Natives and the Gocernment.

The Paxton Boys were frontiersmen of Scots-Irish origin from along the Susquehanna River in central Pennsylvania who formed a vigilante group to retaliate in 1763 against local American Indians in the aftermath of the French and Indian War and Pontiac's Rebellion.
