The battle is also reffered as the Battle of a Thousand Slain. It's the US Army's Biggest or worst Defeat in history.
After the end of the American Revolutionary War and the signing the treaty of Paris the British gave recognized United States sovereignty of all the land east of the Mississippi River and south of the Great Lakes.
The Native tribes living in the area, however, were not participants to this treaty. Therefore in 1783 these tribes decided to make an alliance. Cherokee, Iroquois, Delaware, Miami, Odawa, Ojibwa, Potawatomi, Shawnee, Wabash and Wyandot nations formed The Northwestern Native Confederacy.
Many of them, especially leaders such as Little Turtle - chief of the Miami nation and Blue Jacket - chief of the Shawnee nation, refused to recognize American claims to the area northwest of the Ohio River.
In the coming years American settlers would try to occupy the land but would be in conflict with the Native Americans of the area. The US army tried
to take the land but the Natives, backed by the British, fought on and woudn't give up their homeland.
A series of conflict in the 1780s led up to the battle of the Wabash.\n
