The
Tuscarora War was fought in
North Carolina during the autumn of 1711 until 11 February 1715 between the
British,
Dutch, and
German settlers and the
Tuscarora Native Americans. The Europeans enlisted the Yamasee and Cherokee as Indian allies against the Tuscarora, who had amassed several allies themselves. This was considered the bloodiest colonial war in North Carolina. Defeated, the Tuscarora signed a treaty with colonial officials in 1718 and settled on a reserved tract of land in what became Bertie County.
