Black Hawk War 1831-1832

The Black Hawk War was a conflict between the U.S. A. and the Sac and Fox. An 1831 treaty forced the Sac and Fox to move West of the Mississippi, but in 1832 a group returned to Illinois under Chief Black Hawk. They fought against US troops, the United States Army and militia from Illinois and the Michigan Territory (present-day Wisconsin) for possession of lands in the area. Most of Black Hawk's band were killed on the Bad Axe River (in present-day Wisconsin) by a force under Henry Atkinson.
