General John Sullivan's strategy against the Iroquois

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

General John Sullivan's strategy was to target the Iroquois who took up arms against the United States, but not to harm non-combatants. It did not include rape or child murder, and while it may have contradicted some of Washington's earlier orders, it was ultimately approved by him before being carried out. While there were some setbacks and difficulties in carrying out the campaign, it ultimately succeeded in weakening the Iroquois Confederacy's power and opening up more land for American settlement.
