There was simultaneously an Iroquois civil war going on with the Oneida versus most of the rest, and the Oneida were American allies.
I cried when the tribal historian sent me the detailed history of the Oneida claims made to the United States. They'd lost over half their people, and 3/4 of their warriors. Virtually every plough, harness or other item useful in this world, right down to iron pots, had been seized by the Brits.
Then, every building had been burned to the ground, and women and children were regularly bayoneted and tortured (by the Brits).
Why did we let these Brits evacuate to New Brunswick when there were perfectly good deep waters not too far away where they could have been dropped.
Next time, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
The next time the “British” fight us, their names will be Abdul, Muhammed and Hussein.
