The destruction of the Seneca land infuriates…

1688 CE

The destruction of the Seneca land infuriates the Iroquois Confederation, who consider the Seneca the most honored nation of the Confederation.

They set out to terrorize New France as never before.

Denonville's regulars are dissolved and dispersed to towns across the land, attempting to protect New France's homes and families.

Forts are abandoned.

The Iroquois destroy farmsteads and whole families are slaughtered or captured.
