- Decisive victory

American's defeated the First Nations

and the British.

- Quote by Marcy Kaptur.

- The retreat during the battle made

things worse for the First Nations

people.

- Thomas Fleming quote

- What would have happened if the

British did support the Indians in

the battle?

- Would there have been a different

outcome?

- The Treaty of Greenville was signed

"Wayne gathered the defeated Indians at

Fort Greenville where they signed a

treaty ceding most of Ohio and

Indiana, as well as other areas...

to the United States" (Rosentreter, 5).

This treaty signing meant even more

First Nations land was lost.

- The loss of this battle eventually

resulted in the FN people being

pushed back even further north

towards what is now Detroit

Quote by Mirza

- The battle pushed the FN people

back even further, which affected Tecumseh's

goal to reclaim land that was

previously taken from him and his

people

Quote by Hood

- This quote proves the Americans were

extremely determined as Wayne turned a defeated army into a successful army

in 3 years

- Americans had been pushing back FN

people for years

- The Americans wanted revenge

- The Indians were in trouble

Before the Battle of Fallen Timbers

various expeditions had been routed

by the Miami Chieftain Little Turtle.

"With the credibility of his administration

at stake, Washington selected Anthony Wayne

to command a third and final

strike against the Indians" (McDonough, 1).

The Indians were in trouble because

the Americans were coming to take

the FN people's territory, and with

force.

- They were already in another war

with France

- The British didn't want to lose

more men and fight both the

French and the Americans

The British turned their backs on

the First Nations people

Quote by Hood

- This proves that the FN people

couldn't trust the British at the

time

Quote by Fleming

Despite not wanting to provoke the

Americans, the British shouldn't have

turned their backs on the First

Nations people.

The British signed the Treaty of

Jay which gave more land to

the Americans

"Jay's treaty was signed three months

after the Battle of Fallen Timbers.

It did not recognize Americans' rights

as neutrals on the high seas,

but it pledged England to evacuate

the northwestern posts by 1796" (Hood, 5).

This proves that the British would

basically do anything to not get

on the American's bad side and

start a war with them.

- The loss set back his goals

- Lost land instead of gained land

- Lost many men and his allies

- No, Tecumseh didn't reach his goals

If Tecumseh and the British had

won TBOFT, would it have changed

the course of history forever?

Would the FN people have more land today?

Would most of us in this

classroom even be here?
