Using his persuasive leadership skills, Pontiac pulled together a Pan-Indian coalition to go after the British. Thirteen British forts were attacked at the same time by tribes united in their hatred of the British and, by the end of 1763, eight forts had fallen.

Unfortunately for Pontiac and his “troops,” however, he received no assistance from his presumed allies, the French. Much to Pontiac’s horror, he learned that the French had given up great tracts of their land along the Mississippi and, without a source for ammunition, he had no choice but to abandon the revolt and make peace with the British.

In 1766, Pontiac and 40 other chiefs acknowledged that they were now subjects of the Crown. Pontiac was murdered in 1769 by an Indian who had been hired by an English trader.
