From Florida to Quebec, the white confederation and their Indian allies had driven the eastern Chippewas to near Lake Michigan. However, the Lake Superior Chippewas were reinforced with large numbers of Chippewa soldiers from the west. They eventually drove the European settlers and their Native American allies back towards the Atlantic Coast. | ||
