Abstract: On September 22, 1711, several bands of Native American tribes, including the Tuscarora, Core, Neuse, and others, attacked European settler settlements in North Carolina, thereby beginning a series of events known as the Tuscarora War. In part, this event may have been caused by a sense of mistrust between the Native American tribes living in North Carolina during the eighteenth century and their European counterparts. Ultimately, through a series of military campaigns, the Europeans were able to gain the advantage and put down successfully the rebellion. Also, the Tuscarora and their allies fought amongst themselves or succumbed to diseases like smallpox for which they had no immunity.
