To arrange the events in chronological order leading to American Indian participation in the American Revolution, we would put them in the following sequence:
- The French and Indian War breaks out between the French and the British. (1754-1763)
- The British the Proclamation of 1763. (1763)
- Settlers continue to push west into American Indian lands. (Post-1763)
- The British promise that lands will be returned. (This is more of a later development during the Revolutionary War period as various tribes sought alliances with the British.)
This order reflects the sequence of historical events leading to increased tensions and eventual participation by American Indians in the conflict due to changing circumstances and promises from both the British and colonial settlers.
