Although history texts often erroneously present the Natives, primarily the Iroquois League and the Ohio Union, as \"allies\" (or lackeys) of the British, Native America was in fact working from its own agenda: to prevent settlers from invading the Old Northwest. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThroughout the war, the unwavering goal of the Revolutionary Army, under George Washington, and its associated settler militias was to break the power of the Iroquois League, which had successfully held off invasion for the preceding two centuries, and the newly formed Ohio Union. To destroy the Natives who stood in the way of land seizure, Washington authorized a series of rampages intended to destroy the League and the Union by starvation. As a result, uncounted thousands of Natives perished from New York and Pennsylvania to Ohio. Barbara Alice Mann tells how, in the wake of the massive assaults, Native America nonetheless won the war in the West and managed to maintain control of the land west and north of the Allegheny–Ohio River systems.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction - \"\u003cbr\u003eNiggur-in-Law to Old Sattan\"\u003cbr\u003e: How the West Was \u003ci\u003eReally \u003c\/i\u003eWon\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1 - \"\u003cbr\u003eThe Vile Hands of the Savages\"\u003cbr\u003e: Countdown to Total War, 1775-1778\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2 - \"\u003cbr\u003eShooting Pigeons\"\u003cbr\u003e: The Goose Van Schaick Sweep through Onondaga, April 1779\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3 - \"\u003cbr\u003eThe Wolves of the Forest\"\u003cbr\u003e: The Brodhead March up the Allegheny, August-September 1779\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4 - \"\u003cbr\u003eExtirpate Those Hell-Hounds from off the Face of the Earth\"\u003cbr\u003e: The Sullivan-Clinton Campaign, 9 August-30 September 1779\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5 - \"\u003cbr\u003eKeep That Nest of Hornets Quiet\"\u003cbr\u003e: The Ohio Campaigns of 1779-1781\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6 - \"\u003cbr\u003eTwo Mighty Gods with Their Mouth Wide Open\"\u003cbr\u003e: Settler Assaults on Ohio, 1782\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNotes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBibliography\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIndex\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52695288840472,"sku":"9780803216358","price":13.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/george-washingtons-war-on-native-america-paperback-softback-9780803216358","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
