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.
