In 1790, Native Americans, led by Chief Little Turtle, were able to defeat American troops primarily through surprise attacks. Native American tactics often involved ambushes and hit-and-run strategies that capitalized on their knowledge of the terrain and their ability to execute quick, coordinated strikes against American forces.
