Answer 1

The author most likely wanted the reader to see that Chief Pontiac C. was determined to keep the British out of the land where his people lived.

After the French and Indian War ended in victory for the British, they issued the Proclamation of 1763 which:

• Banned the American colonists from settling in land that had been captured from France
• Was meant to prevent conflict between the Colonists and the Natives
• Established friendly relations between the British and Natives

One reason the British were convinced to issue the Proclamation of 1763 was because of the fierce opposition of Native Americans like Chief Pontiac who fought the British to preserve his people' land.

In conclusion, the writer most probably wanted us to see that Chief Pontiac was willing to do whatever was necessary to keep his people's land secure.
