History

[edit]

The phrase "massacred American settlers" is misleading as it suggests non-combatants were killed. The academic consensus is that no women or children were killed during the July 1778 raid on the Wyoming Valley. Have changed the sentence to: "On July 3, 1778, Loyalist and Iroquois forces routed the Patriot militia at the Battle of Wyoming in present-day Exeter."
