Northwest Territory during the revolution : 1775-1783, 1783-1795
Add to SetSummary
White American settlers began displacing the Native American inhabitants of the Northwest Territory through forced expulsion in the late 18th century. This map, made many years after the original encounters, depicts the territory north of the Ohio River as nearly devoid of Native peoples during the late 1700s. Images present American leaders in a positive light, while the original occupants are stereotyped as "hostile."
