USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -As pressure from both sides increased, the British, in particular, insisted that the Six Nations ally with them. The tribes could not agree on which side to support, and the Confederacy split. The Oneida and Tuscarora supported the Americans; the Seneca, Mohawks, Onondagas, and Cayugas joined the British.

Detailed explanation-2: -Since most of the Iroquois Confederacy sided with the British, the Mohawk nation lost nearly all of their land when the British ceded the lands to the new United States as part of the treaty, leaving their people to be swept aside as settlers claimed their lands.

Detailed explanation-3: -Many of the Iroquois people allied with the British during the American Revolutionary War, particularly warriors from the Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga and Seneca nations. These nations had longstanding trade relations with the British and hoped they might stop American encroachment on their lands.

Detailed explanation-4: -They were the Mohawk, the Oneida, the Onondaga, the Cayuga, and the Seneca. They lived near one another in what is now New York State. Well before Europeans came to North America, they organized the Iroquois League. The goal was to promote peace among themselves.
