Historian Fred Anderson notes that equivalent raids by Indians on Pennsylvania villages were usually labeled '' massacres '' , and that the Indians considered the raid to be one . The destruction of Kittanning was hailed as a victory in Pennsylvania , and Armstrong was known afterwards as the " Hero of Kittanning " . He and his men collected the " scalp bounty " that had been placed on Captain Jacobs . However , the victory had limitations : the attackers suffered more casualties than they inflicted , and most of the villagers escaped , taking with them almost all of the prisoners that had been held in the village . The expedition also probably aggravated the frontier war ; subsequent Indian raids that autumn were fiercer than ever . The Kittanning raid revealed to the village 's inhabitants their vulnerability , and many moved to more secure areas . A peace faction led by Shingas 's brother Tamaqua soon came to the forefront . Tamaqua eventually made peace with Pennsylvania in the Treaty of Easton , which enabled the British under General John Forbes to successfully mount an expedition in 1758 that drove the French from Fort Duquesne
