Question

1. Who won Pontiac’s War? Did Britain win it? Or, did France win it? Or, did the Americans win it? Or, did Pontiac and his Indigenous allies win it? Explain.

Answer 1

Pontiac’s rebellion begins when a confederacy of Native American warriors under Ottawa chief Potiac attacks the British force at Detroit. In spring of 1764, two British army were sent out, one into Pennsylvania and Ohio under Colonel Bouquet, and the other to the Great Lakes under Colonel John Bradstreet. Bouquet’s campaign met with success, and the Delaware and the Shawnees were forced to sue for peace, breaking Pontiac’s alliance. Failing to persuade tribes in the West to join his rebellion, and lacking the hoped for support from the French, Pontiac finally signed a treaty with the British in 1766.

In 1769, Pontiac was murdered by a Peoria Indian while visiting Illinois. His death led to bitter warfare among the tribes, and the Peoria were nearly wiped out.

From this we can conclude that Pontiac’s war was won by British.
