The American Revolution had a profound and often detrimental effect on Native Americans. Many tribes were caught in the conflict, with some siding with the British in hopes of protecting their lands from American expansion, while others allied with the colonists. After the revolution, the new American government largely ignored Native American rights and land claims, leading to increased encroachment on their territories and subsequent loss of land. Ultimately, the war intensified the marginalization and displacement of many Native American communities.
