July 1776, Joseph Bryant and Colonel Guy Johnson returned to America from discussing alliance tems in Britain. Bryant was convinced that the British would win and therefore his brother Natives needed to join at once to the winning side. He immediately told them of his idea of joining the British side and 4 tribes out of the 6 agreed to do so. The division made the oh so powerful Nothern Nation tribe weaker. The two tribes who did not join were the Oneida and Tuscarora.
Their alliance was made official at the Congress at Irondequoit in July 1777.
