2. The Mohawk and the British • The conflict that happened between the British and the Mohawk was that the Mohawk was promised to be rewarded with land because they had helped the British in war. The British had betrayed them by giving the land that was suppose to be theirs to the Americans. The Mohawk leader Thayendanegea ( English name Joseph Brant) demanded land, in 1776. He expressed the frustration of his people. So then the British had gave the Mohawk land along the grand river north of Lake Erie.

3. Loyalists • During and after the war almost 40,000 loyalists migrated to the British control. • Loyalists who fought for the British got better land. • The American rebels treated the loyalists as traders • Many loyalists fled to the north seeking shelter and safety
