American Military Genealogy & History
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.
