| | | | | Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - Choctaw - Pre-history Du Pratz, in his Hist. de La Louisiane (Paris, 1758) recounted that "...when I asked them from whence the Chat-kas came, to express the suddenness of their appearance they replied that they had come out from under the earth." Despite the author's assumption that this story was intended to "express the suddenness of their appearance," and not a literal creation story, this is perhaps the first European writing to contain the seed of the story. Romans' 1771 account (Natural History of East and West Florida ...

American Revolutionary War - Massachusetts 1774 to 1776.
In 1774, the British parliament effectively abolished the provincial government of Massachusetts. Lieutenant General Thomas Gage, already the commander-in-chief of British troops in North America, was also appointed governor of Massachusetts and was instructed by King George's government to enforce royal authority in the troublesome colony. However, popular resistance compelled the newly appointed royal officials in Massachusetts to resign or to seek refuge ...

| | | | | Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - American Revolution - Origins In the early 1760's, Great Britain possessed a vast empire on the North American continent. In addition to the thirteen British colonies, victory in the Seven Years' War had given Great Britain claim over New France (Canada), Spanish Florida, and the Native American lands east of the Mississippi River. A war against France's former Indian allies—Pontiac's Rebellion—had, if not conquered, at least 'pacified' the western frontier. At this time, most white colonists in America considered themselves loyal subjects of the British Crown, with the same rights and obligations as Englishmen in Britain

| | | | | Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - Indian Wars - West of the Mississippi 1861–1890 As in the East, expansion into the plains and mountains by miners, ranchers and settlers led to increasing conflicts with the indigenous population of the West. Many tribes — from the Utes of the Great Basin to the Nez Perces of Idaho — fought the whites at one time or another. But the Sioux of the Northern Plains and the Apache of the Southwest provided the most significant opposition to encroachment on tribal lands. Led by resolute, militant leaders, such as Red Cloud and Crazy Horse, the Sioux were skilled at high-speed mounted warfar ...

| | | | | Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - Indian Wars - Overview The wars, which ranged from colonial times to the Wounded Knee massacre and "closing" of the American frontier in 1890, collectively resulted in the conquest of American Indian peoples and their decimation, assimilation, or forced relocation to Indian reservations. Citing figures from a 1894 estimate by the United States Census Bureau, one scholar has noted that the more than 40 Indian wars from 1775 to 1890 reportedly claimed the lives of some 45,000 Indians and 19,000 whites. This rough estimate includes women and children, since noncombat ...

History of Ohio - Mound builders.
Image:AISerpent.jpg Ohio, the region north of the Ohio River and south of the Great Lakes, was originally inhabited by ancient American Indians. The earliest human inhabitants of what is now Ohio were probably Paleo-Indian peoples, who lived in the area as early as 13,000 BC. They were eventually supplanted by Archaic Indians, who were in turn supplanted by Native Americans of the Adena culture about 800 BC. The Adenas were mound builders who built thousands of burial mounds in O ...

| | | | | Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - History of Ohio - Statehood Under the Northwest Ordinance, any of the states to be formed out of the Northwest Territory could be admitted as a state once the population exceeded 60,000 and a constitution was proposed by the residents. Although Ohio's population numbered only 45,000 in December 1801, Congress determined that the population was growing rapidly and Ohio could begin the path to statehood with the assumption that it would exceed 60,000 residents by the time it would become a state. On April 30, 1802, President Jefferson signed the Enabling Act of 1802 that ...

| | | | | Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - History of Chicago - Great Chicago Fire In 1871, most of the city burned in the Great Chicago Fire. The damage from the fire was immense; 300 people died, 18,000 buildings were destroyed and nearly 100,000 of the city's 300,000 residents were left homeless. One of the factors contributing to the fire's spread was the abundance of wood; the streets, sidewalks and many buildings were built of wood. The fire led to the incorporation of stringent fire-safety codes that included a strong preference for masonry construction. Unfortunately, the soft, swampy ground near the lake proved un ...

History of Ohio - Constitutional Convention of 1912.
In 1912, the citizens of Ohio convened a Constitutional Convention to examine whether changes needed to be made in the state's basic organizing document. A special election was held, and delegates equal to the number of seats in the General Assembly were elected. The delegates were private citizens, representing the merchants, farmers, manufacturers, and academics of the state, instead of career politicians. Charles B. Galbreath of Medina County was elected Secretary. Debate was held in the chamber of the House of Repr ...

| | | | | | Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - Michikinikwa - Legacy In 1911, a very old grave was accidentally discovered by a homebuilder on Lawton Place in Fort Wayne. Research showed that the tomb was indeed that of Michikinikwa. The body was not disinterred, and the plans for the house were altered. A small memorial stone was placed there, which reads:
This site honors the great Chief of the Miamis, Meshekinoqua, "The Little Turtle," son of the great Chief Acquenacque. He is held in the hearts of his people, allies, and foes with the greatest of honor and respect for hi ...

He was courageous and farsighted, holding the Continental Army together through eight hard years of war and numerous privations, sometimes by sheer force of will.
Washington was notable for his modesty and carefully controlled ambition. He never accepted pay during his military service with the Continental Army, and was genuinely reluctant to assume any of the offices thrust upon him. When John Adams recommended him to the Contine ...

| | | | | Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - Tecumseh's War - Factions The two principal adversaries in the war, Tecumseh and William Henry Harrison, had both been junior participants in the Battle of Fallen Timbers at the close of the Northwest Indian War in 1794. Tecumseh had declined to sign the Treaty of Greenville that had ended the war and ceded much of present-day Ohio, long inhabited by the Shawnees and other Native Americans, to the United States. However, many Indian leaders in the region accepted the Greenville terms, and for the next ten years pan-tribal resi ...

| | | | | Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - Tecumseh's War - Religious revival However, a nativist religious revival led by Tecumseh's brother Tenskwatawa ("The Prophet") emerged in 1805, posing a threat to the influence of the accommodationist chiefs. Tenskwatawa urged Indians to reject the ways of the whites, and to refrain from ceding any more lands to the United States. A number of Indians — not coincidentally many who were inclined to cooperate with the United States — were accused of witchcraft, and some were executed by followers of Tenskwatawa. Black Hoof was accused in the witch-hunt, but was not harmed. From his village at Greenville, Tenskwatawa also compromised Black ...

| | | | | Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - George Washington - Early life According to the Julian calendar, Washington was born on February 11, 1731; according to the Gregorian calendar, which was adopted during Washington's life and is used today, he was born on February 22, 1732 (Washington's Birthday is celebrated on the Gregorian date.) At the time of his birth, the English year began March 25 (Annunciation Day, or Lady Day), hence the difference in his birth year. His birthplace was Pope's Creek Plantation, south of ...
