Today I would like to continue our discussion of American diplomatic history of the 18th century by talking about the pioneer named William Johnson. (1)_________________________. Johnson came to New York State from England in 1737 and soon became a large land-holder. He got along well with the Iroquois. Some of them lived on his land and it became a center of trade. Johnson sought land and furs, but was generous to his neighbors. (2)_________________________. Largely because of his work the Iroquois aided the British in their struggles against the French in 1756. Later, however, there was a disagreement with the Iroquois. (3)_________________________. Since Johnson died in 1774 he did not have to face the turmoil of the American Revolution.
