Detailed explanation-1: -The league waged war against and made peace with nonIroquois peoples. Its goal was to strengthen the alliance against invasion. The league helped the Iroquois become one of the most powerful Native American peoples in North America.
Detailed explanation-2: -Well before Europeans came to North America, they organized the Iroquois League. The goal was to promote peace among themselves. Their system of government was so good, it inspired the framers of the U.S. Constitution.
Detailed explanation-3: -Iroquois Confederacy, or League of the Iroquois, Confederation of five (later six) Indian tribes across upper New York that in the 17th–18th century played a strategic role in the struggle between the French and British for supremacy in North America.
Detailed explanation-4: -The confederacy acknowledged defeat in the Second Treaty of Fort Stanwix (1784). In a treaty that was made at Canandaigua, New York, 10 years later, the Iroquois and the United States each pledged not to disturb the other in lands that had been relinquished or reserved.
Detailed explanation-5: -They brought the Peacemaker’s Great Law of Peace to the squabbling Iroquoian nations who were fighting, raiding, and feuding with each other and with other tribes, both Algonkian and Iroquoian. Five nations originally joined in the League, giving rise to the many historic references to “Five Nations of the Iroquois."
