If the British had properly organized and outfitted the Native Indian Tribes in the war of Independence, offering greater backing and responsibility to key Indian leaders such as Joseph Brant (Tahyendanegea) they would probably be a British Colony today with Spain ruling the Central Americas.

Owing largely due to the efforts of a Presbyterian missionary named Samuel Kirkland as well as an Indian Agent named James Dean, some tribes sided with the Patriots and the opposing tribes began to spill each others blood at these instigations.

Brant insisted no attacks be made on settlers themselves unless they picked up arms themselves. 

Meanwhile, in but one occasion that highlights the cold brtality of the war,a 300 man militia wreaked vengance on the peaceful moravian Delaware Indians at the Gnaddenhutten Mission.

 

Almost all of the 90 Christian Indians - women, men, and children - were executed.

 

Jospeh Brant would go on to live by the Grand River in Ontario in the land called Canada.

The ones who fought against him in America would receive no form of special recognition even if the country was preocupied with equality, liberty and justice.

God Bless America. I'll say a prayer for you .
