Written Assignment 10

Much of the conflict between Native Americans and white settlers in the Northwest Territory was caused by the land hunger of these settlers, and the Native reluctance to continue to accede (give in to) that hunger--in large part, because experience taught them that that hunger was insatiable. Yet nowhere in William Henry Harrison's voluminous correspondence is this acknowledged as a factor in the conflicts with the Natives. What are the possible explanations for this fact? Your response should take the form of a 2-3 page paper, double-spaced with conventional 1 inch margins, and is due at the beginning of class on Thursday, March 29.
