Detailed explanation-1: -Why was the Cherokee War a consequence of the French and Indian War? The Cherokee sided with the French and when they lost, the British retaliated by taking their land. The Cherokee tried to stay neutral during the French and Indian War and the British felt betrayed and attacked them.
Detailed explanation-2: -The conflict that led to war began in Virginia in late 1758, when settlers attacked and killed several Cherokee warriors returning from battles against the French. The Cherokees retaliated in North Carolina in spring 1759, and the conflict spread southward.
Detailed explanation-3: -The French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war’s expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American Revolution.
Detailed explanation-4: -Colonial encroachment by settlers provoked them into a two-year war with South Carolina (1759–1761), and the land cessions that ended the war fueled resentment that came to a head with the outbreak of the American Revolution.
Detailed explanation-5: -In 1712 they allied with the British and sent 200 warriors against the Tuscarora Indians. During the French and Indian War, they were heavily recruited by the British to fight against the French. At one time, the Cherokee nation controlled 140, 000 square miles in the southern Appalachians.
