• Failure, if not defeat, of General Burgoyne's army by the bad conduct, and desertion, of his Indian allies 76
• But Washington and Congress, as well as the English Government, sanctioned the employment of the
  Indians in the war, and the first idea of thus employing them originated with the first promoters of revolution
  in Massachusetts 77

  their coadjutors far exceeded in severity and destruction the aggressions and retaliations of the Indians
  on the white inhabitants 77

  reported during the Revolution against the English Loyalists and Indians was fictitious or exaggerated 78

  to enlist and employ the Indians against the British 79

• The Americans have no ground of boasting over the English in regard to the employment of Indians and
  their acts during the war 81
• Efforts of General Burgoyne to restrain the Indians, who were an incumbrance to his army, and whose
  conduct alienated great numbers of Loyalists from the British cause 82
• The conduct and dread of the Indians roused great numbers to become recruits in General Gates' army,
  and thus rendered it far more numerous than the army of General Burgoyne (in a note)
