  • Did the Seneca Nation of Indians fight alongside the British during the American Revolutionary War?

Yes, and the illustrious Red Jacket, was actually named so because one of the Redcoats (British soldiers) had given him his red jacket in reconnaissance for services rendered during the war.   In other instances, the Seneca fought against the British, as in the notorious Devil's Hole Massacre, where 80 British soldiers were killed.
