| | | | | | Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - George Rogers Clark - Early years George Rogers Clark was born in Albemarle County, Virginia, not far from the home of young Thomas Jefferson. Clark attended Donald Robertson's school with James Madison and John Taylor of Carolina, eventually becoming a farmer and surveyor.
In 1772, as a twenty-year old surveyor, Clark made his first trip into what would become Kentucky, one of thousands of settlers entering the area as a result of the Treaty of Fort Stanwix of 1768.

| | | | | Northwest Indian War: Encyclopedia II - William Henry Harrison - Short presidency As Harrison arrived in Washington he focused on showing that he was still the stalwart hero of Tippecanoe. He was to take the oath of office on March 4, 1841, an extremely cold and windy day. Nevertheless, he faced the weather without his overcoat and delivered the longest inaugural address in American history, at nearly two hours (his friend and fellow Whig, Daniel Webster, had edited it for length). He later caught a cold, which then developed into pneumonia and pleurisy. (According to the prevailing medical misconception of the times, it was believed that his illness was caused by the bad weather, when, in fact, he was ...

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 ...

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.

American Revolutionary War - Political Crisis of 1775-1776.
As soon as the new United States of America proclaimed itself 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). ...
