Wars and Battles, Colonial North Carolina
In 1710, a group of Germans and Swiss established a settlement on the Neuse River in an ancestral area of the Tuscarora people. New Bern rapidly became a prosperous community, but the natives became enraged by encroachment on their lands as well as frequent unfair trading practices. On September 22, 1711, the Tuscarora under Chief Hancock attacked New Bern and other settlements in northern Carolina. Hundreds of settlers were killed and their homes and crops destroyed. It was not until 1713 that the settlers regained control, when Captain James Moore, supplemented by Yamasee warriors, defeated the Tuscarora at their village of Neoheroka. Some of the captured Tuscarora were sold into slavery to help defray war costs, while the remainder was forced out of Carolina. Eventually the Tuscarora ended up in New York and later became the sixth nation in the Iroquois Confederation.
