S03E02: Pontiac's Rebellion and the Indian Insurgency of 1763 - a podcast by Brady J. Crytzer

In the Summer of the 1763 the frontier was bathed in blood
and burned to the ground as a massive Indian Insurgency swept across the North
American Continent. Fueled by discontent as a result of British Imperial
austerity, native warriors turned to political upheaval and violent resistance
in an attempt to terrorize settlers off of their ancestral hunting grounds.
While the movement had many leaders and lacked true cohesion, the Ottawa Chief
Pontiac in the Great Lakes and the Mingo chief Guyasuta in the Ohio Country
became the face of terror on the frontier. Their actions, along with a decided
inaction on the part of the empire, drove many American settlers to the brink
and made open rebellion a real possibility for the first time. On this episode
we discuss Pontiac’s Rebellion and the Indian Insurgency of 1763.
