During the 150 years America was "part of the empire" It was the policy,of the English,to push the Indians and French 'out west'. The English had many Indian agents.some of their leaders even traveled to England.During our revolutionary war we told the natives "this is a family fight between us and old England,not join either side.Keep the hatched buried deep" The English excited,armed, and paid them Told them to "feast on a Bostonian and drink his blood" T Jefferson made mention of the "mercilous indian savages" in our declareation of independence.After our victory ,to the amazement of the indians,there was no mention of the American Indians in the peace treaty The English followed the same path,when we declared war on them in 1812 They used them, than said "your on your own" Can any one explain this?
