Weslager called "the most important single event in Indian history on the Delmarva Peninsula", the sping, 1742 gathering of several Native American nations on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay with the intention of planning war against the English colonists. The Nanticokes invited several other tribes ---the Shawnee, Assateague, Pocomoke, Choptank, and Askecksy---and presented their daring plan to carry out a surprise raid against their English neighbors and slaughter everyone, men women, and children. They were in league with the French whose forces would land on the coast and help them drive the white man off the peninsula, splitting the English colonies.
