Weekly Assignment 9a
This assignment deals largely with the Treaty of Greenville, which you can reference back to by following the provided link. The Treaty of Greenville, signed in 1795, has been recently judged as the major turning point in the relationship between whites and Native Americans, because it recognized the victory of US forces under Anthony Wayne over the confederated forces of various native groups at Fallen Timbers. This relationship now recognized the "inevitability" of white rule over the entire Northwest Territory, and the diminished role Native Americans would play in the region. Is this judgement historically accurate? Why, or why not? Your answer should be a 2-3 page paper, double-spaced with conventional 1 inch margins, and is due at the beginning of class on Thursday, March 29 (or, sometime before the end of the semester).
