Detailed explanation-1: -A number of tribes, however, feared the Revolution would replace the British–who had worked hard to protect their lands from colonial encroachments–with the land-hungry colonials. As a result, these tribes fought with the British or took advantage of the situation and acted against the colonists on their own.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the American Revolution, the majority of American Indian Nations allied themselves with the British in order to preserve their culture and stop encroachment upon their lands.
Detailed explanation-3: -Though their stories are not often told, Native Americans played major roles in the Revolutionary War. Supporting both armies as scouts, soldiers and diplomats, the contributions of Native Americans were critical to many important events, battles and decisions that shaped the outcome of the war.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Native community at Stockbridge, Massachusetts, sent seventeen men to join the army of militiamen that was laying siege to Boston in 1775. Other Native Americans joined the British side and fought to defeat the American invasion of Canada in 1775-1776.
