There was a civil war among a powerful northern tribe, the Iroquois Confederacy, because of these problems. Despite this, the Native Americans still made an impact on both side of the war. The colonists in particular benefited, not simply through the forces and aid they supplied, but also through years of observing and experiencing their fighting styles. Guerilla warfare, in addition to a greater understanding of land, greatly assisted the colonists in their defeat of the British. Unfortunately, once the war was won, the alliances and treaties were quickly forgotten. The tribes who aided the Euro-Americans received no rewards and within the next few decades the surviving tribes were forced out of their home to live on
