The Northeast Coast campaign involved the Wabanaki Confederacy raiding British villages along the former border of Acadia in present-day Maine during Queen Anne's War in the spring and summer of 1712.[1]
After the Northeast Coast campaign (1703), in the spring of 1704, after the Raid on Deerfield in February, the Wabanaki again attacked Wells and York, Maine.[2] They raided Saco, Maine again in 1704 and 1705.[3] [4] They raided Winter Harbor (in present-day Biddeford near Biddeford Pool), two more times in 1707 and 1710.[3]
The raids on British villages was in retaliation to their capture of the capital of Acadia, Port Royal, which the British renamed Annapolis Royal.[4]
Natives made raids on Kittery, Wells, Berwick, York, Spruce Creek, Portsmouth. The campaign also reached into New Hampshire and Massachusetts with native raids on Exeter, Oyster River, and Dover.[4]
