    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.

    The Frontiers of American Grand Strategy: Settlers, Elites, and the Standing Army in America’S Indian Wars

    THE FRONTIERS OF AMERICAN GRAND STRATEGY: SETTLERS, ELITES, AND THE STANDING ARMY IN AMERICA’S INDIAN WARS A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Andrew Alden Szarejko, M.A. Washington, D.C. August 11, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Andrew Alden Szarejko All Rights Reserved ii THE FRONTIERS OF AMERICAN GRAND STRATEGY: SETTLERS, ELITES, AND THE STANDING ARMY IN AMERICA’S INDIAN WARS Andrew Alden Szarejko, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Andrew O. Bennett, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Much work on U.S. grand strategy focuses on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. If the United States did have a grand strategy before that, IR scholars often pay little attention to it, and when they do, they rarely agree on how best to characterize it. I show that federal political elites generally wanted to expand the territorial reach of the United States and its relative power, but they sought to expand while avoiding war with European powers and Native nations alike. I focus on U.S. wars with Native nations to show how domestic conditions created a disjuncture between the principles and practice of this grand strategy. Indeed, in many of America’s so- called Indian Wars, U.S. settlers were the ones to initiate conflict, and they eventually brought federal officials into wars that the elites would have preferred to avoid. I develop an explanation for settler success and failure in doing so. I focus on the ways that settlers’ two faits accomplis— the act of settling on disputed territory without authorization and the act of initiating violent conflict with Native nations—affected federal decision-making by putting pressure on speculators and local elites to lobby federal officials for military intervention, by causing federal officials to fear that settlers would create their own states or ally with foreign powers, and by eroding the credibility of U.S.

  • Native Americans, Europeans, and the Raid on Pickawillany

    Native Americans, Europeans, and the Raid on Pickawillany

    ABSTRACT “THE LAND BELONGS TO NEITHER ONE”: NATIVE AMERICANS, EUROPEANS, AND THE RAID ON PICKAWILLANY In 1752, the Miami settlement at Pickawillany was attacked by a force of Ottawa and Chippewa warriors under the command of a métis soldier from Canada. This raid, and the events that precipitated it, is ideally suited to act as a case study of the role of Native American peoples in the Ohio Country during the first half of the eighteenth century. Natives negotiated their roles and borders with their British and French neighbors, and chose alliances with the European power that offered the greatest advantage. Europeans were alternately leaders, partners, conquerors and traders with the Natives, and exercised varying levels and types of control over the Ohio Country. Throughout the period, each of the three groups engaged in a struggle to define their roles in regards to each other, and to define the borders between them. Pickawillany offers insights into this negotiation. It demonstrates how Natives were not passive victims, but active, vital agents who acted in their own interest. The events of the raid feature a number of individuals who were cultural brokers, intermediaries between the groups who played a central, but tenuous, role in negotiations. It also exhibits the power of ritual violence, a discourse of torture and maiming that communicated meanings to friends and rivals alike, and whose implications shaped the history of the period and perceptions of Natives.

    Chief Jean Baptiste Richardville

    CHIEF JEAN BAPTISTE RICHARDVILLE By Craig Leonard «««««««««««««««»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Chief Jean Baptiste Richardville was the civil chief of the Miami Indians from 1816 until his death in 1841. He was born at the Miami village of Kekionga (Fort Wayne) about 1761 and was known by his Miami name, Peshewa ("the lynx," "the wildcat"), and later by the Anglicized version of his name, John B. Richardville. Richardville's father was Joseph Druet de Richardville, a French-Canadian trader of noble ancestry whose family members, the Drouets, were among the most prominent nobility, officers, and traders in New France. Tacumwah (Maria Louisa Richardville), Richardville's mother, was the sister of Pacanne, the chief of the village at Kekionga. Joseph apparently remained at Kekionga from about 1750 to 1770; he then returned to Three Rivers, Canada, where his son later joined him for a few years to receive a formal education. Drouet and Tacumwah are known to have had three other children, but little is known of them or where they spent their lives. Tacumwah, who had the status of a female chieftain among the Miami, later married another French trader, Charles Beaubien. Several factors destined Richardville for prominence. The Miami tribe had at least five major divisions, of which the foremost were the Atchatchakangouen, or Crane People. The head chief of this group was deferred to by the heads of the other divisions as the entire tribe's civil chief. The Atchatchakangouen head chief was Pacanne, the leader at Kekionga. Among the Miami, war chiefs were chosen for their prowess in battle, but succession to civil chieftain was hereditary.

    Our Highways, An Indian Heritage Floy Hurlbut, Ball State Teachers' College Before the coming of the white man, Indiana was an impenetrable wilderness. It was heavily forested, the forests choked with a dense cover of undergrowth and then entwined with wild grape vines. In the north and central parts, swamps were widespread, and the whole area inhabited by wild beasts and a few tribes of semi-nomadic Indians. Because land transportation was so difficult, the earliest routes of the white man into Indiana were the waterways. Along the south, the Ohio gave access from Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. The Cumberland Gap was an easy passage from the Carolinas and Eastern Tennessee to Kentucky, down the Kentucky River to the Ohio and to one of the major crossings of the Ohio at Madison. The crossing above the Falls at Louisville was the route followed by George Rogers Clark into Indiana. There was a third crossing at Evansville and one at Lawrence- burg. Some of the early settlers continued on down the Ohio to the Wabash, and up the Wabash. The early history of Vincennes and New Harmony are well known. In the northern part of the state, the St. Joseph was one of the early transportation routes up the river from its mouth at Benton Harbor, or La Salle's Fort Miamis, to the big bend at South Bend, then across a short portage to the headwaters of the Kankakee, down the Kankakee, the Illinois and Mississippi rivers to the Gulf. This was the route followed by La Salle in his journey to the mouth of the great "Father of Waters." Another water route was by way of Lake Erie, the Maumee River, a short portage from the Maumee to the Little Wabash, and down the Wabash to the Ohio.
