Dummer's War (25 jul 1722 año – 15 dic 1725 año)

Descripción:

A war between the New England colonists and the Wabanaki Confederacy. Since the Treaty of Utrecht had not been signed by the Wabanaki, the land ceded was still recognized by them as under their control. As the British began to settle into their land, the Wabanaki pushed back. After negotiations were refused by the settlers, several raids were conducted by the Wabanaki on British settlements. After the capital of Annapolis Royal was besieged, the colonists declared war. Wabanaki led by Gray Lock made successful attacks in western Massachusetts,The rest of 1722 involved a successful defense put up by the British in New England, but were unable to launch a successful counterattack. Meanwhile, in Nova Scotia, colonists killed 25 Native Americans at the Battle of Winnepang, while losing only two themselves. A few months into 1723, the Wabanaki conducted over a dozen raids in and around Maine. In 1724, a British offensive of about 20 were destroyed by Wabanaki warriors, who spared only their Native American guides. In retaliation, the British attacked a large Wabanaki village called Norridgewock, killing a local chief, Native American leader and secret Canadian agent Father Rale, as well as a couple dozen others. British Captain John Lovewall conducted a few raids against the Wabanaki in the winter of 1724-1725, with the third against the Pequawket warriors, in which the British attack force was compromised, though they killed Pequawket Chief Paugus. Despite French protest, the Penobscot Native Americans asked for peace, who succeeded in getting most of the Wabanaki to do the same (except for Gray Lock, who would continue until 1727). Consequentially, British hold around Maine tightened, and no major war would occur in the region for about 30 years.
