The first successful and permanent settlement of North Carolina by Europeans began in earnest in 1653. The European peoples are the various Nations and Ethnic groups of Europe. The Tuscarora lived in peace with the European settlers who arrived in North Carolina for over 50 years at a time when nearly every other colony in America was actively involved in some form of conflict with the American Indians. This article is about a type of political territory For other uses see Colony (disambiguation. However, the arrival of the settlers was ultimately disastrous for the aboriginal inhabitants of North Carolina.
There were two primary contingents of Tuscarora at this point, a Northern group led by Chief Tom Blunt and a Southern group led by Chief Hancock. Chief Blunt occupied the area around what is present-day Bertie County on the Roanoke River; Chief Hancock was closer to New Bern, North Carolina, occupying the area south of the Pamplico River (now the Pamlico River). Bertie County (pronounced BURT-TEE is a County located in the U The Roanoke River is a river in southern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina in the United States, 410 mi (660 km long The Pamlico River is a Tidal river located in the city of Washington, North Carolina, in the United States of America.

As a social-economic system slavery is a legal institution under which a Person (called "a slave" is compelled to work for another Both groups were heavily impacted by the introduction of European diseases, and both were rapidly having their lands stolen by the encroaching settlers. Ultimately, Chief Hancock felt there was no alternative but to attack the settlers. Tom Blunt did not become involved in the war at this point.
The Southern Tuscarora, led by Chief Hancock, worked in conjunction with the Pamplico Indians, the Cothechneys, the Cores, the Mattamuskeets and the Matchepungoes to attack the settlers in a wide range of locations in a short time period. Pamplico is a town in southeastern Florence County, South Carolina, United States. Principal targets were the planters on the Roanoke River, the planters on the Neuse River and Trent River and the city of Bath. The Neuse River is a major permanent stream rising in the piedmont of North Carolina, emptying into the Pamlico Sound below New Bern. The first attacks began on September 22, 1711, and hundreds of settlers were ultimately killed.

Chief Blunt was then offered the chance to control the entire Tuscarora tribe if he assisted the settlers in putting down Chief Hancock. Chief Blunt was able to capture Chief Hancock, and the settlers executed him in 1712. In 1713 the Southern Tuscaroras lost Fort Neoheroka,located in Greene County[1], with 900 killed or captured. Fort Neoheroka (or just Neoheroka, Neyuherú•kęˀ in Tuscarora) is the name of a stronghold constructed in what is now modern day Greene County Greene County is a County located in the US state of North Carolina.
It was at this point that the majority of the Southern Tuscarora began migrating to New York to escape the settlers in North Carolina.
The remaining Tuscarora signed a treaty with the settlers in June 1718 granting them a tract of land on the Roanoke River in what is now Bertie County. This was the area already occupied by Tom Blunt, and was specified as 56,000 acres (227 km²); Tom Blunt, who had taken on the name Blount, was now recognized by the Legislature of North Carolina as King Tom Blount. The remaining Southern Tuscarora were removed from their homes on the Pamlico River and made to move to Bertie. In 1722 Bertie County was chartered, and over the next several decades the remaining Tuscorara lands were continually diminished as they were sold off in deals that were frequently designed to take advantage of the American Indians.
