Answer 5

At the time of the revolution, Virginia and several other states of the United States maintained territorial claims in the west. Shortly after the war they ceded their claims to the federal government. By the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, the United States organized the possessions north of the Ohio River as the Northwest Territory. As settlers poured into the new territory from the east, the Native Americans again became alarmed. Little Turtle, a chief of the Miami, led a widespread revolt in Ohio and Indiana. It was brought to an end in August 1794, when troops led by U.S. General Anthony Wayne inflicted a crushing defeat on the Native American forces at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, near present-day Toledo, Ohio. Wayne then continued into Indiana and built a stockade across the river from old Fort Miami. The new fort became the center of a white settlement that is now the city of Fort Wayne.

In 1795 the Miami signed a treaty with Wayne, giving up a large part of their land. Between then and 1854 they signed another 12 treaties, ceding nearly all their lands to the United States. In 1827 most of the tribe moved to Kansas, where the remaining members live today.

In 1800 the Congress of the United States created the Indiana Territory out of the western part of the Northwest Territory. The eastern part became the state of Ohio in 1803. The huge new Indiana Territory was a sparsely populated area. With a settler population of only about 5,600, it included almost all of what is now Indiana as well as all of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois and parts of Minnesota. William Henry Harrison, who had fought under Wayne at Fallen Timbers and was later to become president of the United States, was appointed the first governor of the Indiana Territory. Vincennes was designated the capital.



Battle of Tippecanoe
engagement that helped the United States win control of the Northwest Territory, and established the reputation of William Henry Harrison. It was fought on November 7, 1811, in the town of Battle Ground, Indiana, near the junction of the Tippecanoe and Wabash rivers, in Tippecanoe County. The battle was between an American force of about 1000 men led by the future president of the U.S. William H. Harrison, then governor of Indiana Territory, and a Native American force estimated by Harrison at about 6000 Shawnee, but probably much smaller, led by Tenskwatawa, called the Prophet or Shawnee Prophet, brother of the Shawnee leader Tecumseh, who was absent at the time. After one of his sentinels was killed in an ambush, Harrison marched against the Indian village of Prophetstown, the headquarters of Tenskwatawa and his brother, who had been organizing the tribes into a confederation to oppose the occupation of Native American lands by American settlers. The Native Americans resisted the attack bravely, but after more than two hours of stubborn fighting, they were driven from the field. The next day, Harrison advanced to the town and almost completely destroyed it.

The battle rendered virtually impossible the realization of Tecumseh's plans of confederation, weakened and almost destroyed the prestige of the Prophet, and hastened the general outbreak of hostilities by the Native Americans against the Americans in the Northwest. At the same time, it greatly enhanced the reputation of General Harrison, who acquired the nickname Tippecanoe.
