| ARTICLES RELATED TO Northwest Indian War | | | |  Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - Choctaw - Early historyThe Choctaw were no doubt a part of the Mississippian culture in the Mississippi river valley. At the time that the Spanish made their first forays into the gulf shores, the political centers of the Missisppians were already in decline or gone. The region is best described as a collection of moderately-sized Native chiefdoms (such as those on the Coosa and Alabama rivers) interspersed with completely autonomous villages and tribal groups. This is what the earliest Spanish ...

| | | | | 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 - Washington Administration - Farewell Address and Two-Term Tradition Washington's Farewell Address was the defining statement of Federalist party principles and one of the most influential statements of American political values. Hamilton made major suggestions for Washington's draft, as did John Jay. It was not a speech but a public letter issues in September, 1796, in time to influence the presidential election. Most of the Address dealt with the dangers of bitter partisanship in domestic politics. True republicans, Washington argued, are in fact in true harmony, and should transcend local, state and region ...

| | | | | Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - American Revolutionary War - War in the South During the first three years of the American Revolutionary War, the primary military encounters were in the North. One notable exception was in June 1776, when General Henry Clinton sailed south to attack Charleston, South Carolina. This ended in humiliating defeat for the British, and the Patriots remained in control of the southern states for the next three years. Starting in 1778, the British once again turned their attention to Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, where the ...

Choctaw - Stickball.

Native American stickball, the oldest field sport in America, was also know as the "little brother of war" because of its roughness and substitution for war. When disputes arouse between Choctaw communities, stickball provided a peaceful way to settle the issue. The earliest reference to stickball was in 1729 by a Jesuit priest. The stickball games would involve as few as twenty or as many as 300 players. With the goal posts any way from a few ...

| | | | | Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - American Revolution - America after the war The American Revolution saw several noteworthy political innovations: the separation of church and state, which ended the special privileges of the Church of England in the South and the Congregationalist Church in New England; an assertion of liberty, individual rights and equality which would prove highly appealing in Europe; the idea that government should be by consent of the governed (including the right of rebellion against tyranny); the delegation of power to the government through written constitutions; and the notion that colonial peoples of the Americas could become self-governing nations in their own ...

West of the Appalachian Mountains, the American Revolutionary War was an "Indian War." The British and the Continental Congress both courted American Indians as allies (or urged them to remain neutral), and many Native American communities became divided over what path to take. Like the Iroquois Confederacy, tribes such as the Cherokees and the Shawnees split into factions. Delawares under White Eyes signed the first American Indian treaty w ...

American Revolutionary War - Political Crisis of 1775-1776.
As soon as the new United States of America was proclaimed independent (July 4, 1776), residents had to decide whether to support it or not. (Some people were silent, and that was allowed.) People who supported the new government called themselves "Americans" or "patriots" or "Congress Men". (The prewar term "Whig" was occasionally used.) The people who opposed it called themselves "Loyalists" or "King's Men"; (the term "Tory" was occasionally used.) The ...
