Explain two consequences of the War of Independence for the Native Americans.

Firstly, the Native American tribes were heavily blamed in the aftermath of the war for their involvement and subsequent alliance with the British forces by the new government. Therefore, they had large areas of their lands taken away and were denied rights of citizenship; mostly due to the ongoing discrimination against them, but it can also be attributed to their continued support for standing British fortifications. This resulted in complications among their own communities, as alliances broke apart and further weakened their ability to resist further territorial settlements. The peace negotiations bought about by the end of the War of Independence in 1783 saw Britain grant the new government land that had been largely unsettled by European colonists, leading to a forced migration that drove the Native Americans away from their ancestral lands to areas such as Canada and Florida. However, another consequence to arise from these agreements was the inevitable expansion of both white and Native American presence in these areas, creating more conflict throughout the remaining eighteenth-century and beyond.
