10 янв 1801 г. - William Henry Harrison as Governor of the Indiana Territory

Описание:

Harrison is appointed by Thomas Jefferson to administer the president's proposed solution to the "Indian problem." Jefferson's solution involved giving the Natives a choice: convert into settled farmers and assimilate or migrate to the west of the Mississippi. In order to implement this policy and conclude treaties, Harrison played one tribe against another, using threats, bribes, and trickery to do so.
