Tuscarora War Begins
September 22, 1711
In Carolina's coastal forests, Tuscarora warriors fell upon English and Palatine German settlements, killing more than a hundred. Two years of brutal reprisal would follow. Defeated, the Tuscarora migrated north and became the sixth nation of the Iroquois Confederacy, changing the political geography of eastern North America. Their adoption into the league in 1722 formalized the transformation of the Five Nations into Six.
