(Francis) The Conspiracy of Pontiac and the Indian War after the Conquest of Canada Produced by Suzanne Shell, Henry Gardiner and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Conspiracy of Pontiac and the Indian War after the Conquest of Canada" by Francis Parkman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the significant events surrounding Pontiac's Rebellion, which was a response of various Native American tribes against British colonial rule following the British conquest of Canada. The author aims to portray the complexities of forest life and the character of Native Americans during this tumultuous period in American history. At the start of the narrative, Parkman makes a compelling case for the importance of studying this period of history to understand the plight of Native Americans following the conquest of Canada. He discusses the political repercussions of the conquest, ultimately leading to the decline of Native American tribes under the advancing power of Anglo-American settlers. The author introduces the Iroquois and Algonquin tribes, highlighting their social structures, conflicts, and cultural richness before the arrival of Europeans. Parkman sets the stage for the ensuing conflict, noting that the Iroquois' fierce pride and ambition would lead them into significant confrontations against rival tribes and colonial powers.
