Three Wars of Independence were fought in Pennsylvania in the 1700’s. The first two you’ve never heard of. Why?
In 1763, separate, parallel Wars for Independence started in Pennsylvania, a decade before the American Revolution of 1776. One was led by White Settlers, the other by Native Americans. Both were triggered when a nameless band known only as the Paxtons massacred 20 Conestoga Indians living peacefully on a farm in Lancaster County..
