What was one of the main causes of the Cherokee war?

One of the main causes of the Cherokee War, also known as the Anglo-Cherokee War (1758-1761), was the growing tension between the Cherokee Nation and English settlers in the Carolinas. Land encroachment by settlers, coupled with the Cherokee's desire to maintain their territory and autonomy, led to violent conflicts. Additionally, disputes over trade and the influence of European powers in North America further exacerbated hostilities between the two groups.
