King George III wanted to fight on even after losing two of his three combat armies but he lost control of [[Parliament]] and the American war was over. When the peace treaty was finalized in 1783, Washington triumphantly marched into New York City. Then to the astonishment of the world, Washington—by now the most famous man in the world—stopped the [[Newburgh Conspiracy]], resigned his commission, and went home to his plantation, setting a standard of republican belief in civilian supremacy.
===Conflict with the Iroquois===
As part of the revolutionary war, George Washington is said to have massacred the Iroquois. The story goes as follows: On June 4th 1779, Washington ordered the Revolutionary army to invade the land of where the Iroquois tribe was to kill many of them as possible. This widely-publicized story states that the invasion had devastated the tribe and their army. <ref>http://www.voltairenet.org/article30359.html</ref><ref>https://www.usnews.com/news/national/articles/2008/06/27/town-destroyer-versus-the-iroquois-indians</ref><ref>http://americanhistory.oxfordre.com/view/10.1093/acrefore/9780199329175.001.0001/acrefore-9780199329175-e-3</ref><br />
The "Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee," or "League of the Iroquois," was a group of five tribes in northern New York and Pennsylvania which joined forces in 1570. As one body represented by 50 members of each tribe, they made decisions relating to trade and war. Day-to-day operations within tribes were left to the jurisdiction of their respective tribes, but matters of war had to be agreed upon by the group. This system worked until about the time of the American revolution. With Native Americans as involved in the conflict as Europeans, the Iroquois needed to make a decision on who to fight, but could not. In the end, each tribe tried to go its own way, with some fighting on each side and a few remaining neutral. They became an enemy of both sides, and were ultimately demolished by both sides, rather than by one side, or one man alone.<ref>http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/outlines/history-1994/early-america/colonial-indian-relations.php</ref>
