Following the Fort Loudoun massacre by Cherokee Chief Oconostota, General Jeffrey Amherst in Charleston eventually sent 2,600 regulars and local militia into North Carolina under Colonel James Grant. He won a hard-fought action on the Little Tennessee near Etchoe (modern Franklin), site of battle the previous year, and the Cherokee soon sued for peace.
