Detailed explanation-1: -When Britain and the United States went to war in 1812, many Native Americans seized the opportunity to ally themselves with Britain. In return, they hoped that British weapons, munitions, artillery, and regular troops would give them the means to halt American colonization of the west.
Detailed explanation-2: -Frustrated by Britain’s maritime practices and support of Native American resistance to western expansion, the U.S. entered the war with ambitious plans to conquer Canada, a goal that was never realized. The strength of the British army proved too great for U.S. forces.
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.
