Years: 1764 - 1764
July
General Amherst, held responsible for the uprising by the Board of Trade, had been recalled to London in August 1763 and replaced by Major General Thomas Gage.

In 1764, Gage sends two expeditions into the west to crush the rebellion, rescue British prisoners, and arrest the natives responsible for the war.

According to historian Fred Anderson, Gage's campaign, which had been designed by Amherst, prolongs the war for more than a year because it focuses on punishing the natives rather than ending the war.

Gage's one significant departure from Amherst's plan is to allow William Johnson to conduct a peace treaty at Niagara, giving those natives who are ready to "bury the hatchet" a chance to do so.
