Question 4 • SVHS US History and Constitution #FA

The Tuscarora War between settlers and Indigenous people in North Carolina was caused by

Answer
A
local tribes attacking Jamestown and burning it to the ground.
B
settlers capturing Indigenous people to enslave for labor.
C
Indigenous tribes encroaching on settlers’ land.
D
Indigenous people interfering with trade between settlers and Britain.

Explanation

The Tuscarora War grew out of settlers’ encroachment and exploitation of Indigenous communities, including kidnapping Tuscarora people and selling them into slavery. This made the capture and enslavement of Indigenous people for labor the best answer. The conflict was not about an attack on Jamestown, which was in Virginia, or interference with trade between settlers and Britain.
