The treaty that ended the Revolutionary War, specifically the Treaty of Paris in 1783, angered Joseph Brant because it failed to recognize the land rights and sovereignty of Native American tribes. The agreement ceded vast territories to the new United States without consultation or consent from Indigenous nations, undermining their claims and leading to further encroachments on their lands. Brant, a Mohawk leader and loyalist, felt betrayed by both the British and American governments, as he had supported the British in the hopes of securing protection for Native lands.
