Abstract:
The Tuscarora War was an armed conflict between English colonists and the Tuscarora Indian tribe that ended with the near extinction of the Tuscarora. Angered by colonial encroachment on their land and broken promises, the Tuscarora launched surprise attacks on North Carolina colonists. A combined North Carolina and South Carolina militia fought back against the Tuscarora and destroyed most of its people and villages.
