Native Communities & The American Revolution<\/strong><\/h4>\n
 <\/h5>\n
\n
Daniel Mandell, Truman State University Emeritus Professor of History<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

Before the Revolutionary War, New England\u2019s Native communities were active in imperial politics, sending delegates to seek the Crown\u2019s protection against increasingly intrusive and corrupt colonial officials. But when war with England erupted, many of the men went to serve in the local militia and Continental army, or on naval privateers, alongside white and black comrades. As a result, after the war, Native communities embraced democratic rhetoric to defend their lands, autonomy, and religious liberties. Revolution was a process that continued through the early 1800s, and the region\u2019s Indigenous population was a part of that process, even as they remained a people apart.<\/span><\/p>\n
