Abstract:

Southern colonists deeply relied on the protection of their militiaman from Native American, Spanish, and French threats. Those who were called to arms were also important in suppressing internal rebellions amongst local colonists, making it clear that a "militia was key to the survival of early settlers."

Abstract:

Known as the "single greatest disaster to have befallen North Carolina," the Tuscarora Indian War fought between British Colonists and the Tuscarora Tribe ignited due to several sources of conflict; two of which were due to colonists' need for fertile soil and water transportation. The death toll resulted in 1,400 killed/wounded and 1,000+ natives sold into slavery.
