He sided with the British in the American Revolution, and successfully convinced many of his countrymen to do so. The education he received at the hands of Eleazar Wheelock allowed him to understand colonial culture, while his upbringing as a Mohawk immersed him in a way of life little understood by colonial Americans. His unique background brought him into contact with prominent movers and shakers on the frontier, and also led him down the path of fighting for King George III in the American Revolution. His experiences also provide an insight into how Indigenous nations participated in, and were affected by, the American Revolution. Today's episode of History: Beyond the Textbook focuses on Joseph Brant, the Mohawk Loyalist of New York's frontier.
