During the American Revolution, most Native Americans sided with the Crown because they considered the British military as their last defense against land-hungry American settlers encroaching on their ancestral territory. In this vicious satire created during the Revolution, a British critic links American fears of religious oppression with British use of Native American allies. King George III joins Native Americans in a cannibalistic feast, and two natives drain blood from the torso of a white infant into a skull. A fat bishop and a sailor deliver scalping knives, tomahawks, and crucifixes as presents to the Indians.
