The Oka Crisis took place in Oka, Quebec, Canada, in 1990. It was a land dispute between the Mohawk people of Kanesatake and the town of Oka over a proposed golf course expansion on land that the Mohawks claimed as sacred. The crisis escalated into a standoff between the Mohawks and Canadian authorities, leading to a 78-day blockade and heightened tensions regarding Indigenous rights.
The Iroquois Confederacy, also known as the Haudenosaunee, is a prominent group of Native American tribes that lived in New York. This confederacy originally consisted of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and later the Tuscarora tribes. They are known for their sophisticated political system and played a significant role in both the history of New York and the broader context of Native American relations with European settlers.
African Americans had (then as now) a wide range of opinions. Many felt that when the war effort failed, they would be severely punished for assisting the Union. Others had great loyalty to their owners despite widespread abusive treatment. Still others did not want to see thousands of Black soldiers dying for a "white man's fight." Early in the war, some escaped slaves were given back to plantations, which caused a great deal of doubt about whether the Union was any better than the Confederacy. After the Emancipation Proclamation was published, it became easier to support the Union effort, but the continuing lack of progress by the Union Army until halfway through the war made it difficult to support the Union. A series of victories at Gettysburg, Vicksburg, along with Sherman's progress in the deep South caused many to realize that working with the Union to end slavery was a historic cause and very much worth supporting. Tens of thousands of Black soldiers died in the Union cause, and an uncounted number died working with Union forces as civilian support (cooks, porters, drivers, quartermasters, nurses).
The British were taxing the colonists on tea,lead,paper,and even playing cards. The colonists were forced to buy the tea. So they stared a boycott. A boycott is a refusal to buy something. So they stoped buying the tea.The SONS OF LIBERTY was a group of patriots. They disguised themselves as Mohawk Indianans and dumped British tea off of the ship, this was called the BOSTON TEA PARTY. The British were mad and they closed down the Boston harbor until the colonists could pay for it. Everything that the British did upsetted the colonists so they sent a note saying that they were still loyal to KING GEORGE 3 in Great Britain. King George 3 didn't even want to read it.When the Revolutionary War began the first battle was at Lexington and Concord. The Americans won the Revolutionary War!

The Five Nations
The Iroquios, the Haudenosaunee in their own language, are a league or confederation of tribes or nations, not a single tribe. The original members of the league were the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and Seneca nations, later joined by the Tuscarora.
The Iroquois Confederacy of Five Nations included the Cayuga, Onondaga, Mohawk, Seneca and the Oneida. Eventually the Tuscarora joined making it the Confederacy of Six Nations. Their constitution served as the model for the US constitution.
After the arrival of Europeans, the Mohawk Tribe, part of the Iroquois Confederacy, experienced significant disruptions to their way of life. They faced land dispossession, conflict, and disease, which greatly reduced their population and altered their traditional practices. The Mohawks initially engaged in trade with Europeans but later became involved in various conflicts, including the American Revolution, aligning with the British. Over time, many members were displaced, leading to the establishment of Mohawk communities in Canada and the United States.
