Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, the governor of Louisiana and founder of New Orleans, is determined to stop Chickasaw trade with the British.
He is able to incite the Choctaw, who begin in 1721 to snipe away at Chickasaw villages, and to ambush pack trains along the Trader's Path leading to Charleston, South Carolina.
The Chickasaw block French traffic on the Mississippi River by occupying Chickasaw Bluff near present day Memphis, and bargain for peace with the Choctaw.
