The year 1779 saw the American Revolution take a brutal
turn. With the entrance of France and Spain into the conflict, Britain focused
its military efforts on protecting interests around the world. With the
American rebellion still in full swing, the fighting descending into a terrible
partisan war pitting neighbor versus neighbor, and tribe versus tribe. Sensing
new opportunity due to foreign money, General George Washington launched a
campaign to eliminate the Iroquois from the face of the continent by ravaging
their homes and families. While most of the warriors were busy fighting rebels,
three Patriot armies laid waste to all of Iroquoia leaving only smoking ruins
in their wake. On this episode we discuss George Washington’s annihilation of
the Iroquois.
