treaty of greenville

1795

Treaty with natives.The 1795 Treaty of Greenville was one among the many controversial agreements between Americans and Native American tribes. It expanded American territory westward, but it also fomented Native American resentment.Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan owe their statehood partly to the 1795 Treaty of Greenville, in which Native Americans ceded land in what is now those states to American settlement. After the American Revolution ended in 1783, the American population was growing, and they were looking to expand westward, often into lands where Native Americans resided. This led to several skirmishes between the two groups in the 1780s and '90s. The conflict subsided a bit with the Treaty of Greenville. But even though the treaty established temporary peace, it also set the stage for more conflict in the future
