Abstract:
Continued encroachment and cultural disrespect on both sides lead to a breaking point in September 2011. Two major figures captured by the Tuscarora at the start of the conflict were John Lawson and Christopher De Graffenried. King Hancock with the Tuscarora sought to maintain peace with the shite settlers but was overruled by the majority on his side. Other leading figures in the conflict included William Brice, John Barnwell, Chief Tom Blount and Col James Moore, Jr.
