• W1585380429 abstract "On December 13 and 27, 1763, bands of men from the Pennsylvania frontier, commonly referred to as the Paxton Boys, murdered 20 Conestoga Indians vigilante style. The first attack occurred at Conestoga Manor where the Indians lived, but the second attack occurred in the City of Lancaster while the remaining survivors were in protective custody. None of the Conestoga Indians survived, and many of the victims included women, children, and the elderly. In January of 1764, Benjamin Franklin published a scathing response to the murders in which he characterized the behavior of the perpetrators as “barbarous Men who committed the atrocious Fact, in Defiance of Government, of all Laws’ human and divine, and to the external Disgrace of their Country and Colour.” He further claimed that the “Frontier People call themselves Christians,” but the Indians “would have been safer, if they had submitted to the Turks ... the Moors ... the Popist Spaniards ... in any known Part of the World, -except in the Neighborhood of the CHRISTIAN WHITE SAVAGES.” Throughout this narrative, Franklin repeatedly compared the frontier inhabitants with entities, which would seem to colonial Pennsylvanians as the most inhumane and uncivilized in the world. Then, less than two months later, in February of 1764, more than 250 men marched from the frontier to Philadelphia, allegedly to rout out 140 Moravian Indians temporarily housed in Philadelphia barracks. In the end, the City of Philadelphia was able to avoid violence and a possible “revolt” when City leaders met the “rioters” in Germantown and persuaded them to return home. In exchange for the dispersal of the Paxton rioters, the Philadelphia leaders agreed that the protesters could present their grievances and submit petitions to the Pennsylvania Assembly for consideration. In their Declaration, the Paxton Boys claimed that the Indians were allied with the enemy (the French), but that despite this fact, the Assembly favored the Indians while the frontier settlers “were left to starve neglected.” In addition, the Paxton Boys castigated the political leadership, specifically blaming the Quakers when they claimed, “Such is our unhappy Situation, under the Villany, Infatuation and Influence of a certain Faction that have got the political reigns in their Hand and tamely tyrannize over the other good Subjects of the Province!” In their formal petition to the Pennsylvania Assembly, the protesters requested equal political representation, a halt to the allocation of public money to protect Indians, a request for the release of public funds to assist frontier settlers, and a cessation to Indian trade until frontier captives were released." @default.
