IN May 1776, (despite what the Southern colonies had wanted and preached: for the Natives to stay neutral) delegates of the Shawnees, Delawares, and Mohawks came down to the Cherokees to convince them to fight against the Americans. The Cherokees were persuaded and started tomahawking.
The South American colonists retalliated by scorching their land and villages. But the Cherokees just moved farther West and watched what the colonists were doing.
What happened to the Cherokees made the Creeks dislike the Americans more but, at the same time, they did not want to face the same scorching.
