The French colonies were less of a threat than British colonizers. The French had mostly small outposts of trappers and traders. The British colonies had exploded in population since their establishment and were clearly looking to expand into lands that the Native Americans currently occupied. The style of British colonies did not have any place for Native Americans.

This was clear when the British commander in charge of fighting the French, General Braddock, was asked by Shingas (a local leader of the Delaware Indians) whether the tribes who allied with Britain would be allowed to live and trade with the English and have land of their own. General Braddock replied that "No Savage Should Inherit the Land"

How did the patriot's victory in the American revolution affect native Americans?

Though the Native Americans who had supported the Patriots were pleased with the victory, the Natives who had not were in danger, as the Americans were very angry at them. Many Native Americans had supported the British in the American Revolution; not only because the British treated Natives much more civilly than the colonists did, but because Natives viewed the British as weaker and less dangerous than Colonials. If the British won, many tribes reasoned, it would be easier to force whites out of America once and for all.It left them vulnerable to the Americans hunger for land
