- The retreat during the battle made
things worse for the First Nations
people.
- What would have happened if the
British did support the Indians in
the battle?

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
- 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
- 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
- This proves that the FN people
couldn't trust the British at the
time
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
