July 13, 1793. Vol. 24, (1894): 579-585.

The US commissioners declare that the Ohio River boundary line for US settlement proposed by the Indian Confederacy is unacceptable because of provisions of the Treaties of Ghent and Fort Stanwix that established a Great Lakes boundary line. They are willing to renegotiate this line, but they demand that the Indians make concessions.

However, the natives had no say in the Treaty of Paris of 1783, and did not want to secede their land.

Effect: Natives formed a Western Confederacy in order to protect their land. The Natives initially put up a solid defense with British help, but ultimately lost at the Battle of Fallen Timbers. A year later, they signed the Treaty of Greenville, ceding Ohio in exchange for ~$20,000 worth of goods.]]> 2017-11-06 01:50:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kearns_j/t62nl6eu9iq6/wish/203714510 Relevance: Political issues/ Foreign Affairs kearns_j https://padlet.com/kearns_j/t62nl6eu9iq6/wish/203714631 After the American Revolution, the U.S. wanted to move into Ohio, which Britain ceded to them. However, natives in the territory did not want to leave, which ultimately led to a battle against Americans. Because British also wanted to maintain camps in the area, they fought with the natives. In the end, Natives lost Ohio, but gained some reparations. However, the Treaty of Greenville had an annuity system, granting natives with yearly supplies of clothes allowing for continued influence over them.]]> 2017-11-06 01:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kearns_j/t62nl6eu9iq6/wish/203714631
