Question

Settlers, often greater in number and better armed, attacked Native Americans in efforts to force Native Americans to give up land or in response to Native American raids. Likewise, Native American groups attacked settlers who had taken their land or threatened their way of life.

A History of Conflict and Prejudice On both sides, biases, stereotypes, and prejudices led to mistrust and hostility. White settlers saw Native Americans as dangerous and untrustworthy. Settlers, often greater in number and better armed, attacked Native Americans in efforts to force Native Americans to give up land or in response to Native American raids. Likewise, Native American groups attacked settlers who had taken their land or threatened their way of life.Native Americans feared that settlers' hunger for land could never be satisfied and that settlers meant to kill them off. These fears fueled many bloody conflicts.

Before the Revolution, the British had made peace with Native American groups by drawing the Proclamation Line of 1763 through the Appalachian Mountains, roughly along the frontier, or edge, of white settlement. The British forbade whites to settle west of this line. The line gave Native Americans west of the line and east of the Mississippi River some protection.

Seeing the British as protectors, many Native Americans sided with them during the Revolutionary War. Native American fears were confirmed as more and more white settlers began moving into lands west of the Proclamation Line. After the war, Native Americans attacked white settlements in the new Northwest Territory. The Battle of Tippecanoe was a major defeat for Native American leader Tecumseh and his forces during this time of unrest.

When conflict between Britain and the United States broke out again in the War of 1812, many, but not all, Native American groups again sided with the British. A group of Creek Indians in present-day Georgia and Alabama formed an alliance with both Tecumseh and the British. Meanwhile, other Creeks and the neighboring Choctaw people sided with the United States. As you have learned, forces led by Andrew Jackson defeated the Creeks allied with the British. The Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, and Cherokee nations lived in parts of what are now Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The Shawnee, Potawatomi, Sauk, and Fox nations lived in parts of present-day Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Many hoped to live in peace with their white neighbors on the frontier.
Some tribes, like the Cherokee nation, had adopted European customs hoping to preserve their land. They created a legal system and government that blended European and Cherokee traditions. Others, like the Choctaw, believed they would be allowed to keep their land because they had sided with the United States during the War of 1812.

In 1821, Sequoyah (suh KWOH yuh), a Cherokee man, created a writing system for his people. Using Sequoyah's letters, Cherokee children learned to read and write. The Cherokees also published a newspaper.

The efforts of Native Americans to adopt European ways failed to end the conflict with white settlers. The Native Americans' fertile land remained attractive to white settlers, and white settlers feared more violent conflict with Native Americans.
