Page "Nancy Ward" Paragraph 18

In 1780, Ward continued warning American soldiers of attacks trying to prevent retaliations against her people.

According to Felton she even sent food in form of cattle to the starving militia.

Her efforts couldn ’ t prevent another invasion of the Cherokee territory by the North Carolina militia, who destroyed more villages demanding further land cessions.

Ward and her family were captured in the battle but they were eventually released and returned to Chota.
