Was in the West
While Easterners were more concerned with diplomatic issues relating to Europe, the war west of the Appalachian Mountains took on a different character. The war in the West was a continuation of a long series of Indian wars dating back to the 1750s. The American victory at the 1794 Battle of Fallen Timbers and the subsequent Treaty of Green Ville, signed the following year, had imposed a brief period of peace within the region. But after 1800, a flood of settlement throughout Ohio and Indiana prompted a renewal of sporadic Indian violence. Indian resentment was genuine. Although native peoples needed no encouragement to oppose United States expansion, by June 1812, many settlers believed that they were being incited to violence by British agents. The British, the settlers said, were supplying the Indians with arms, ammunition, and rewards for American scalps.| HM Number | HMS7D |
