 Micmac
British settlement in North America had begun in Virginia at Jamestown in 1607, but as a result of Cabot's voyage in 1497, Britain claimed the entire eastern seaboard north of the Carolinas (including Canada).
The British, however, were serious about enforcing their claims and in 1613 made their first attempt to remove the French from "their territory." In the fall, a naval expedition from Jamestown destroyed both the Mont-Deserts mission and Port Royal.
The British refused to declare war reasoning that, since the Micmac were supposed to have submitted to British authority in Nova Scotia at the Treaty of Boston (1726), they could be treated as rebels, not enemies.
