High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Natchez Massacre was an attack by Natchez Indians against French colonists near present-day Natchez, Mississippi, on November 29, 1729. The Natchez and French had lived alongside each other for more than a decade prior to the incident, conducting peaceful business and occasionally intermarrying. Natchez leaders were provoked when the French colonial commandant, Sieur de Chepart, demanded land from a Natchez village for his own plantation near Fort Rosalie. They plotted their attack over several days and managed to conceal their plans from most of the French; those who overheard and warned Chepart of an attack were considered untruthful and were punished. More than 240 people were killed in the subsequent fighting, most of them French men, and Fort Rosalie was ruined.
