Jane McCrea became a symbol of Native American identity and the impact of colonial conflict during the American Revolution primarily due to her tragic death in 1777. Captured by Native Americans allied with the British, her murder sparked outrage among colonists and was used to rally support for the revolutionary cause. Her story highlighted the violence and fear prevalent at the time, as well as the complexities of Native American alliances. Consequently, McCrea's narrative was leveraged by revolutionary propagandists to evoke sympathy and galvanize support against British forces.

How did Jane McCrea become a symbol of Native American and white relations?

The story of Jane McCrea, while not exactly mimicking the traditional Lucretia narrative, was used during and after the founding of the American republic and held many of the same philosophical underpinnings as the old founding myth. By reworking the tale of Lucretia and offering a new female sacrificial figure to fit a new nation with diverse representations of villainy and tyranny, the murder and mourning of Jane McCrea gave patriarchal republicanism in America a new rallying cry. Turning from suicide to murder, and from actual rape to the threat of rape, Jane McCrea's death, and its invocation throughout the founding of the American republic, allowed male citizens to create a new, American version of the Lucretia myth, which functioned similarly to the Roman republican version, and helped further American male fraternity.
