Ancient history

What happened to the Indians who supported crown during revolution?

Many Indians who supported the British Crown during the American Revolution remained in the United States after the war and continued to live as members of their tribes, albeit in a much-reduced state. Some joined the British Army and fought against the Americans, while others provided intelligence and support to the British.

After the war, the United States government enacted a number of laws and treaties that dispossessed Native Americans of their land and restricted their rights. The Indian Removal Act of 1830, for example, authorized the federal government to forcibly relocate Native Americans from the eastern United States to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. This resulted in the forced removal of tens of thousands of Native Americans from their ancestral lands, and many died on the journey to Indian Territory.

In addition to losing their land and rights, Native Americans who supported the British Crown also faced discrimination and violence from white settlers and the US government. They were often denied basic rights such as the right to vote, own property, or receive an education. In many cases, Native Americans who supported the British were forced to live on reservations or in segregated communities.
