A year before Lord Dunmore's War of 1774, the arrangements between the seaboard colonists and the Native Americans of the interior were no longer in effect. They had agreed to leave each other alone.
Dunmore began moving into the tans-Alleghany are of the Natives. This was an awful idea. He trasgressed on Delaware and Shawnee lands. The Natives there started fighting against Dunmore and his possy.
The Iriquois did not like how the white men were disrespecting their Native brothers and were ready to help defend their brothers.
Johnson then had the task of persuading the Iriquois not to fight. When he got close to sealing the deal, he died.
