and burned to the ground as a massive Indian Insurgency swept across the North

American Continent. Fueled by discontent as a result of British Imperial

austerity, native warriors turned to political upheaval and violent resistance

in an attempt to terrorize settlers off of their ancestral hunting grounds.

While the movement had many leaders and lacked true cohesion, the Ottawa Chief

Pontiac in the Great Lakes and the Mingo chief Guyasuta in the Ohio Country

became the face of terror on the frontier. Their actions, along with a decided

inaction on the part of the empire, drove many American settlers to the brink

and made open rebellion a real possibility for the first time. On this episode

we discuss Pontiac’s Rebellion and the Indian Insurgency of 1763.
