Black Hawk War (6 apr 1832 anni – 27 agos 1832 anni)

A several-month conflict between the US and Native Americans led by Black Hawk of the Sauk tribe. The war broke out after a group of Native Americans called the "British Band" left the Iowa Indian Territory and crossed into the state of Illinois. The US believed them to be hostile and attacked, with Black Hawk and other Native forces retaliating. On August 2, the US killed or captured the remaining British Band members at the Battle of Bad Axe. Black Hawk escaped, but later surrendered and was imprisoned for one year. The war hastened the removal of Indians from American Territory.
