Indian barrier state

Quality 0.00 · 1 view · Updated 1 month ago

The Indian barrier state was an unrealised British proposal to establish a Native American buffer state in the Great Lakes region of North America. It was intended to consist of territory west of the Appalachian Mountains and bounded by the Ohio and Mississippi rivers along with the Great Lakes. British officials first conceived of establishing such a state in 1755 during the French and Indian War, and the idea grew in importance after the war ended and Native dissatisfaction with the British resulted in Pontiac's War.
