Abstract:
At the outbreak of the French and Indian War in 1754, both the English and French sought the friendship and aid of the Cherokee Indians. To prevent the Cherokee from aiding the French and in response to the Indians' request that a fort be built for protection, the South Carolinians began construction of Fort Loudoun on the Little Tennessee River in 1756 and completed the project in 1757. While the fort was an initial success at peacekeeping, by 1758 conflict sprung up between the Cherokee and the English that would continue until 1761 when the fort fell and the Cherokee were defeated.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Moravians had to temper their pacifism with some dependence on force concerning the native Indians in the western part of the state. The worst of the troubles came during the French and Indian Wars as the Cherokees \"sold\" their land in the Treaty of Sycamore Shoals from 1754-1770. Fighting in the Northern colonies drove many Moravians into the Carolinas, particularly Bethabara, and after 1779, Bethania. Despite their scruples against bearing arms, the Moravians established a militia headed by Brother Jacob Loesch.
