Thanks to Indian resentment over the French surrender of their lands and the harsh policies of General Jeffery Amherst governor-general of British North America 20+ Indian nations rose up under the charismatic leadership of the Ottawa sachem Pontiac and the Lenape Holy Man Neolin. Pontiac’s War attempts to recreate the reaction of Indian leaders to British mishandling of frontier politics and the impending colonial crisis it presaged.
