Tensions between British American settlers and Native American tribes in Midwest finally come to head


By late March of 1788, British Americans received reports of Indian raids on colonial settlements over all the Ohio valley. With hundreds of settlers being killed and their homes being ransacked... The calls for action is made in British American Parliament. British American commanders call for the mobilization of local forces to handle the raids.

The North American parliament orders the mobilization of the Army of the West, and redirects the Army of the Potomac, recently mobilized, to the West to aid the Army of the West. Their orders are to secure all areas currently settled. Once settled areas are secure, they are to lay waste to any Indian tribes that resist the Americans. General Anthony Wayne is put in charge, with Patrick Ferguson sent to act as a supporting officer.

Bribes of money and guns are offered to any Indian tribe willing to work with the Americans, with their territory to be legally protected and honored by the North American colony.

Jan-Dec 1789

The fighting is still ongoing, North American forces suffer up to 500 casualties. Native American casualties are estimated to be around 2000.

Major General Anthony Wayne recommends setting up a Fort at base of the Chicago River

And fort name after himself call Fort Wayne

The reason to setup these forts was to allow the North American forces to have logistics route and long range outpost in Native American land.

Jan-Dec 1790

Fighting is starting to turn in the favor of the Anglo-American forces, as most of the Ohio region has been cleared of Native Americans.

The Anglo-Americans forces led by Major General Anthony Wayne are finally able to shatter the main Native American force at Fall Timber in July 15, 1790

Base off this battle, about 200 Anglo-Americans killed, and 400 wounded. As for Native Americans, about 400 killed, 600 wounded.

The Anglo-Americans are finally able to force peace terms on the remaining Native American Tribes to allow American settlement of the Ohio area( rl state of Ohio). How many tribes are left bitter and many wonder how long would the peace last.
