The British promised the Native Americans that they would control the expansion of settlers into Indian land.

Rohan Reed · Answer 2

Some Indian tribes were divided over which side to support in the war, such as the Iroquois Confederacy based in New York and Pennsylvania who split: the Oneida and Tuscarora sided with the American Patriots, and the Mohawk, Seneca, Cayuga, and Onondaga sided with the British.
