Pontiac’s RebellionPontiac’s Rebellion

After the French and Indian War ended, some British colonists moved across the Appalachian Mountains to the Ohio Valley.

They did not get along with the Ottawa Indians.

Chief Pontiac encouraged the Ohio natives to join him in a rebellion against the British.

They attacked Fort Detroit (formerly called Fort Pontchartrain) and held it for a while.

Eventually, British troops arrived and defeated Pontiac’s warriors.

Proclamation of 1763 gave control of the land west of the Appalachian Mountains to the Native Americans.

This was done to avoid further fights with the Native Americans living there.

Another reason was so that the King could keep the colonists under tighter control.
