3 ago 1795 ano - Treaty of Greenville

Descrição:

A treaty between the US and the Native American tribes of the Northwest Territory that ended the Northwest Indian War. It was signed at Fort Greenville in modern-day Ohio and redefined what parts of the area each party controlled. Specifically, Native Americans were to relinquish all claims in Ohio except the northwest, demarcated by the Greenville Treaty Line, though they could still hunt in the ceded land. In return, the Native Americans would be paid every year in money and cloth, and were given $20,000 for accepting the treaty. The Northwestern tribes were left unhappy with the treaty, and tension grew between them and the US as white settlers continued to encroach on the territory allotted to the tribes by the treaty, which would culminate in another war in 1810.
