Description

After the American Revolution, land speculators in the United States desired the bottom portion of the current state of Ohio, with the full Northwest Territory being the ultimate prize.

Encompassing approximately 200 million acres, gaining this territory became a priority for the developing United Colonies.

This land was ceded to the United Colonies, now the United States, when the British government signed the Treaty of Peace in 1783. Focusing on the first decade after the Revolution, this book explains the United States' seizure of territory in Ohio from the Native People who had no desire or intention of parting with their land.

The Northwest Ordinance is discussed as a key event influencing how the United States would develop since this act created the desirable Northwest Territory.

How the young republic faced the challenge of gaining this territory from the Natives determined exactly what kind of nation it would become.
