  • 9 the British Alliance of 1812–14
    9 The British Alliance of 1812–14 Chapter Outline This chapter examines the War of 1812 and, in particular, the role that Tecumseh had in this event. By the early 1800s, the intentions of the Americans were clear. The Americans were expanding, and it would be to the west where they would seek land. The War of 1812 can be viewed as a continu- ance of the American War of Independence, as this inconclusive war had left unresolved several im- portant matters, such as those relating to Indigenous Peoples and their lands. In a similar fashion to Obwandiyag, Tecumseh, a part-Shawnee and part-Cree leader, rose to the forefront as an advocate for a pan-Indigenous movement. Like Obwandiyag, Tecumseh was linked to a prophet. Tenskwa- tawa was known as the Shawnee Prophet and happened to be Tecumseh’s brother. Tenskwatawa argued that no particular tribe had the right to give up land as its own. Tecumseh had a particular disdain for Americans as both his father and brother were killed in US frontier wars. He chose to side with the British not because he favoured them but rather because he saw them as the lesser of two evils. Tecumseh challenged the cessions of lands that the Americans were obtaining, particularly those claimed in Indiana Territory. Throughout 1812 to 1813, Tecumseh led Indigenous forces to victory af- ter victory over the Americans. Tecumseh eventually met his demise at Moraviantown where, unsup- ported by British troops that had been promised, he was killed in October 1813. The death of Tecum- seh had immediate impacts since no leader could fill his role as a catalyst for a pan-Indigenous move- ment.

  • War and Legitimacy: the Securement of Sovereignty in the Northwest Indian War
    i ABSTRACT WAR AND LEGITIMACY: THE SECUREMENT OF SOVEREIGNTY IN THE NORTHWEST INDIAN WAR During the post-revolution period, the newfound constitutional government of the United States faced a crisis of sovereignty and legitimacy. The Old Northwest region, encompassing what is now Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, was disputed between several groups. The U.S. government under George Washington claimed the region and sought to populate the land with white settlers, British officials in North America wished to reestablish British hegemony in the Ohio River valley and Native-Americans wished to protect their ancestral homeland from foreign invasion. In the 1790s, war broke out between a British backed alliance of Native tribes and the United States of America. Historians have named this conflict the Northwest Indian War. Examining government records, personal correspondences between Washington administration officials and military commanders, as well as recollections of soldiers, officials and civilians this thesis explores the geopolitical causes and ramifications of the Northwest Indian War. These sources demonstrate how the war was a reflection of a crisis which threatened the legitimacy to American sovereignty in the West. Furthermore, they also demonstrate how the use of a professional federal standing army was used by Washington’s government to secure American legitimacy.

Ballantyne B.A., University of Toledo 2007 Committee: Kenneth B. Tankersley, Chair Vernon L. Scarborough ABSTRACT Miami Fort, located in southwestern Ohio, is a multicomponent hilltop earthwork approximately nine kilometers in length. Detailed geological analyses demonstrate that the earthwork was a complex gravity-fed hydraulic structure, which channeled spring waters and surface runoff to sites where indigenous plants and cultigens were grown in a highly fertile but drought prone loess soil. Drill core sampling, x-ray diffractometry, high-resolution magnetic susceptibility analysis, and radiocarbon dating demonstrate that the earthwork was built after the Holocene Climatic Optimum and before the Medieval Warming Period. The results of this study suggest that these and perhaps other southern Ohio hilltop earthworks are hydraulic structures rather than fortifications.

  • Northwest Ohio Quarterly Volume 16 Issue 2
    Northwest Ohio Quarterly Volume 16 Issue 2 Toledo and Fort Miami UR general interest in the site of Fort Miami, located on the west bank of the Maumee River in Lucas County. wi thin the O corporate limits of the Village of Maumee, goes hack at least two generations. In the 1880's a movement was commenced by citizens of j\·faumcc Valley wh ich foreshadowed the activities of the present vigorous Maumee Scenic and H istoric Highway Association. At that time it was thought that solution lay in federal d evelopment of this and the other historic sites of northwestern Ohio. Surveys of these sites were made by U. S, Army engineers, pursuant to legis­ lation sponsored by Jacob Romcis of 'Toledo. The survey o f Fort "Miami in 1888 is reproduced in th is issue. Nothing came of this movement, however, and little was apparently done to reclaim lhe site from the pastoral scenes pictured in the illustrated section of this issue until the first World War. T h is movement subsided u nder the inflated realty prices of the times. The acti"e story, the begin· ning of the movement which finally saved the site for posterity, commences with the organization of the Maumee River Scenic and Historic Highway Association in 1939. The details of this fi ght are given in the October, 1942, issue of our Q UARTERLY, and can only be summarized here.

An abstract of A History of Fort Meigs: The Fort‘s Reconstruction as Reflection of Sense of Place to Northwest Ohio by Ashley A. Johnson Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in History The University of Toledo May 2011 Fort Meigs has endured for nearly 200 years due to its sense of place it offers to northwest Ohio. A sense of place consists of an area that offers locals an anchor of identity and explanation to understand their place and existence in time and space. In 1813, Fort Meigs first served northwest Ohio through the War of 1812 campaigns after the disastrous River Raisin Massacre and other repeated American losses; the two campaigns at the fort helped to turn the war in America‘s favor. Following the war period, the fort continued to serve the area by providing a space and backdrop for such things as political campaigns, memorial grounds for soldiers, celebrations of American war victories, and as a recreational area.

  • Unit Theory of Knowledge 1 UNIT: HISTORY IS a SHAPE
    History is A Shape: History Unit Theory of Knowledge 1 UNIT: HISTORY IS A SHAPE Created by Amy Scott: Coral Reef High School Overall Unit Question: Does history move in a circle, an upwards progression, a downwards spiral, or a straight line? 1.Topic: History—in particular an examination of historical progress as it relates to time period and social setting. This unit will follow a discussion of “How to Think About Progress,” chapter 46 of Mortimer Adler’s The Great Ideas. The students will debate philosophically whether or not human societies experience real change, either physically or morally. Additionally moving from the world perspective to a specific American historical era, the student will project themselves back in time to “virtually” experience the economic and physical hazards of homesteading in the 1880’s. Through a series of pre-and-post film activities (based on the PBS film Frontier House) the student will consider whether or not “progress” necessarily leads to the overall betterment of men and their societies. Ultimately by looking at the merits and demerits of modern life compared to prairie life they will answer (at least for this time period) whether history moves upwards, circularly, downwards, or on a straight line. 2. Goals and Objectives: The student will learn how to think about progress as a concept of history. He will become familiar with the contrasting ideologies of Aristotle, Hegel, Kant, Marx, Spencer, Kant, and Toynbee. The student will also consider what conditions are indispensable to progress and try to clarify and isolate a specific definition of progress beyond the material realm.
