Spector; PhDThis is a good; if a bit tedious survey of the role of the Indians in the Revolutionary War. It highlights the complexities involved in the relations among the combatants; none of which can be viewed as monolithic. The colonies did not share the same goals; nor did all Indian tribes and groups within the tribes. Both France and Spain had imperial interests not always congruent with their support of the colonies. Britain had imperial concerns that went beyond the quarrel with the colonies.
