Discover the warfare of the Eastern Woodlands tribes and nations and its lasting legacy in the United States. These nations engaged in wars for a variety of reasons, with many tactics, weapons, military organizational structures, and methods for opening and ceasing hostilities. The culture of war in the Eastern woodlands had a strong and direct impact on Williamsburg and the colonies of the French and British as a whole, as well as leaving a legacy that shaped the founding of the nation and continues to impact the modern world in many ways.
