Question

True
False

Answer 1

True

Pontiac was an Ottawa war chief known for leading a coalition of Native American tribes in a struggle against British military occupation of the Great Lakes region following the French and Indian War (1754–1763). This conflict, known as Pontiac's War or Pontiac's Rebellion, occurred in the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes region from 1763 to 1766. The Native American tribes were dissatisfied with the policies of the British after their victory over the French, which is why they aimed to drive the British soldiers and settlers out of the region.
