Too easily we forget that the process of European colonization was
not simply a matter of armed invaders elbowing themselves into
position to take charge. As John Juricek reminds us, the road to
revolution was paved in part by complicated negotiations with
Indians, as well as unique legal challenges. By 1763, Britain had
defeated Spain and France for dominance over much of the continent
and renewed efforts to repair relations with Indians, especially in
the southern colonies. Over the ensuing decade the reconstitution
of British-Creek relations stalled and then collapsed, ultimately
leading the colonists directly into the arms of the patriot cause.
Juricek's expertise uniquely situates him to examine and explain
how British failures, including the growing gap between promises
and actions, led not only to a loss of potential allies among the
Creeks but also to the rapid conversion of dutiful British subjects
into outraged revolutionaries.
