time the recognized See also:war See also:leader of the Sauk and Foxes. From his youth he was intensely bloodthirsty and hostile to the Americans. Immediately after the acquisition of " See also:Louisiana," the Federal See also:government took steps for the removal of the Sauk and Foxes, who had always been a disturbing See also:element among the See also:north-western See also:Indians, to the See also:west See also:bank of the Mississippi river. As See also:early as 1804, by a treaty signed at St See also:- LOUIS

Louis on the 3rd of See also:November, they agreed to the removal in return for an See also:annuity of $1000. See also:British influences were still strong in the upper Mississippi valley and undoubtedly led Black Hawk and the chiefs of the Sauk and Fox confederacy to repudiate this agreement of 1804, and subsequently to enter into the See also:conspiracy of See also:Tecumseh and take See also:part with the British in the war of 1812. The See also:treaties of 1815 at See also:Portage See also:des See also:Sioux (with the Foxes) and of 1816 at St Louis (with the Sauk) substantially renewed that of 1804. That of 1816 was signed by Black Hawk himself, who declared, however, when in 1823 Chief See also:Keokuk and a See also:majority of the two nations crossed the river, that the consent of the chiefs had been obtained by See also:fraud. In 183o a final treaty was signed at See also:Prairie du Chien, by which all See also:title to the lands of the Sauk and Foxes See also:east of the Mississippi was ceded to the government, and See also:provision was made for the immediate opening of the See also:tract to settlers. Black Hawk, leading the party in opposition to Keokuk, at once refused to accede to this cession and threatened to retaliate if his lands were invaded. This precipitated what is known as the Black Hawk War. Settlers began pouring into the new region in the early See also:spring of 1831, and Black Hawk in See also:June. attacked several villages near the See also:Illinois-See also:Wisconsin See also:line. After massacring several isolated families, he was driven off by a force of Illinois See also:militia. He renewed his attack in the following See also:year (1832), but after several See also:minor engagements; in most of which he was successful, he was defeated (21st of See also:July) at Wisconsin Heights on the Wisconsin river, opposite Prairie du See also:Sac, by See also:Michigan See also:volunteers under Colonels See also:- HENRY
