2. Who were the Tuscarora?
The Tuscarora were a Native American tribe that
lived in North America in the 1600’s to the 1800’s.
When European settlers arrived, the Tuscarora were
split as a tribe. There was a Northern tribe and a
Southern tribe.
These tribes were led by Chief Hancock and Tom
Blunt.
3. How the war started
The Tuscarora war started when the Natives started
fighting back against the European Settlers.
This was odd because for many years the settlers
had lived in peace and prosperity with the Natives
At one point the tribe was split, instead of one
Tuscarora there was now North Tuscarora and
South Tuscarora.
4. Why did the war happen?
The war happened because the Natives got sick of
being treated the way they were by the Europeans.
There land was simply taken from them and they
had no choice.
They’re family members were being kidnapped and
forced into labour and some were even forced into
sexual slavery.
5. Where did the war
happen?
The war mainly took place in North Carolina, where
the Tuscarora had lived for many years.
The war did not spread but stayed only within the
confines of the state.
Many wars like this happened between Natives and
Europeans over land.
6. When did the war happen?
The war lasted 4 years, between 1711- 1715.
After 1715, a peace treaty was signed between the
Natives and the Settlers.
The peace treaty did not last long though. The same
year another war began.
7. What were the after
effects?
The aftermath of this war lead to another war, the
Yamasee War.
This war again, was between Natives and European.
The Yamasee War lasted from 1715 – 1717.
