From Harmar’s failure to the Treaty of Greenville, 1789–95

After another Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War in 1783, American agents informed the Indians that they must give up their claims to lands east of the Great Miami River and acknowledge the sovereignty of the new United States. After Col Benjamin Logan’s attack on villages along the Mad River in 1786, and continued American aggression, some chiefs agreed to sign the Treaty of Ft Harmar in 1789. However, unwilling to accept its terms, Miamis, Shawnees and others attacked settlers in southern Ohio, and in response the military launched a major campaign against the Indian villages now centered along the Wabash and Maumee rivers.
