The Mohawk tribe, particularly under the leadership of Joseph Brant, largely sided with the British during the American Revolutionary War. They were motivated by a desire to protect their lands from encroachment by American settlers. While some individuals and factions within the tribe may have supported the Patriots, the overall alliance with the British was driven by strategic interests in maintaining their territory.
