Cherry Valley, New York 1778,....Lachine, New France (now Quebec) 1689. Revisionist history based on modernism is a load of horse hockey.

Ehy would Joseph Brant haver wanted to have truck neith th3 phaek Valley farmers. Brant likely knew the freedom they were talking about was freedom to take Haudensusane land.Almost all the Patriot big shots were after land the British had precluded Americans from taking. Is it any wonder yhe majority of Iroquois supported the Brits. Over and over s US government dominated by folks of Brit ancestry took land from people they Considered inferior starting with the Irish 400 years earlier
