The Continental Congress seeks to keep the Six Nations out of the war.
In July 1775, Samuel Kirkland, a missionary who is influential with the Oneidas, brings to them a statement from Congress that "we desire you to remain at home, and not join either side, but to keep the hatchet buried deep."
While the Oneidas and Tuscaroras remain formally neutral, many individual Oneidas express sympathy with the rebels.
