    In 1710, Christoph von Graffenried founded the colony of New Bern in what is now North Carolina in the USA. The British colonial authorities allotted him 16,200 hectares of land. However, the area was already home to families of the Skarù·ręʔ (also called Tuscarora) who had been fighting for independence for years. In 1711, it came to war. The Skarù·ręʔ attacked New Bern, destroying almost the whole town. A year later, the Skarù·ręʔ were defeated; many of them were either killed or captured and sold into slavery.
