The Iroquois sided with the British for the French and Indian War. The British paid the Iroquois to kill Americans that crossed over the Appalachian Mountains. The Algonquin Indians sided with the French. The Algonquin also had fought against Americans in the colonies. The British had a superior army and the Iroquois were a more united group of native Americans
During the French and Indian War, the British government promised American Indians land and sovereignty over their territories if they allied with the British against the French. This was part of a broader strategy to secure Native American support in the conflict. However, these promises were often not honored after the war, leading to further tensions between Native Americans and British settlers.
The Indians mainly allied with the French during the colonial conflicts in North America, particularly the French and Indian War, due to shared interests in trade and mutual opposition to British expansion. The French established strong trade relationships with various tribes, respecting their autonomy and cultural practices, while the British often sought to displace Indigenous peoples from their lands. Additionally, the French were perceived as less of a threat to Native American territories compared to the British settlers, making the alliance more appealing for many tribes.
The Iroquois Indians helped the fighters in the British army and the British colonists. The Huron Indian tribe helped the French. Early in the war, young George Washington was sent to Ohio to quell the disturbance there. It was his first battle. He and his fighters were so outwitted and out-numbered that Washington had to surrender. He returned to Virginia where he lived and vowed he would never go to war again. But he was called upon again, and eventually became General George Washington.
