British in Syracuse, New York
The British began to take an active interest in the land around ''Onondaga Lake'' in the early 18th century. They befriended the Onondagas by giving them guns, which were highly prized. A British agent, William Johnson, acquired of land in the Mohawk country near present day Johnstown, New York. In 1751, Johnson heard that the French intended on securing a military post in the vicinity of the salt springs. He discussed the consequences of that action with the Onondagas and proposed that they grant him rights to all of ''Onondaga Lake'' and a two-mile band of land around it. The Onondagas agreed and were paid £350 sterling.
==History==
William Johnson wanted either the British or the Colony of New York to reimburse him for his purchase and take control of the land, however, the ''Colonial Council'' instead gave the land to Johnson and his heirs. In 1756, Johnson was named sole agent and superintendent of the ''Six Nations'' of the ''Iroquois''. By this time the ''Tuscarora’s'' had joined the confederacy. Johnson continued to have a positive relationship with the Onondagas and worked to secure their neutrality or allegiance to the British in matters with the French and the Americans.〔
