Detailed explanation-1: -Conflicts between U.S. citizens and Native Americans were frequent in the years before the war and many in the United States blamed Great Britain and its colonies for helping to arm the Native Americans.
Detailed explanation-2: -The various wars resulted from a wide variety of factors, the most common being the desire of settlers and governments for Indian tribes’ lands. The European powers and their colonies also enlisted allied Indian tribes to help them conduct warfare against each other’s colonial settlements.
Detailed explanation-3: -These groups of American Indians believed that if the Revolutionaries were victorious, they would allow them to maintain control over their homelands. Many American Indian nations fought in the Revolutionary War, three of which Don Troiani features in his paintings: the Oneida, Mohawk, and Stockbridge-Mohican.
Detailed explanation-4: -Without guns and ammunition, it was difficult to defend and expand the group’s hunting grounds, trade routes, and targets of captive raids. Likewise, without these economic resources, a people could not acquire weapons to defend themselves and pursue their economic interests.
