'Conspiracy of Pontiac and the Indian War after the Conquest of Canada' Summary
In the aftermath of the British conquest of Canada in 1763, a formidable coalition of Native American tribes, led by the Ottawa chief Pontiac, emerged to challenge British authority. Driven by a shared sense of grievance over land encroachment, broken treaties, and cultural suppression, Pontiac rallied warriors from across the Great Lakes region, the Illinois Country, and the Ohio Country. Their coordinated attacks on British forts and settlements marked the beginning of a bloody and protracted war that tested the limits of both sides' endurance.Book Details
