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. A treaty was signed in 1715. At this point, the majority of the Southern Tuscarora began migrating to New York to escape the settlers in North Carolina. The support of the Catawba and other "southern" tribes for the colonists led to a thirty-year war of vengeance against them by the United Six Nations. This was one of the most brutal and overlooked conflicts in recorded history.[citation needed]
