The Northwest Territory was to be given away by British forces under the treaty of Pairs in 1783. However, the American Indian tribes in Northwest Territories put up a strong resistance and refused to be ruled over by American forces while the British helped them. In first attempt the American forces had to bear large number of casualties during war, however a later attempt to gain control proved to be successful.

In the fall of 1811, tensions escalated in the Northwest Territory as American settlers encroached on Native American lands. The Battle of Tippecanoe, fought in November, marked a significant conflict between U.S. forces led by Governor William Henry Harrison and Native American warriors associated with Shawnee leader Tecumseh. This defeat convinced many Native Americans in the region that their resistance against American expansion was futile, ultimately leading to increased support for British alliances as they sought to protect their territory and way of life.
The leader of the Native Americans was Chief little Turtle and the leader of the U.S. Forces was General Josiah Harmar.
Many Americans believed that the British were supporting Tecumseh, the Shawnee leader, because of the growing tensions between American settlers and Native American tribes in the Northwest Territory. Tecumseh had sought to unify various tribes to resist American expansion, and his alliance with the British during the War of 1812 fueled suspicions. Additionally, the British were seen as a potential ally for Native Americans in their efforts to protect their lands from American encroachment. This belief contributed to American hostility towards both Tecumseh and British forces during the conflict.
In 1791, Little Turtle, a chief of the Miami tribe, led Native American forces that defeated American troops in the Northwest Indian War. His forces achieved a significant victory against an army led by General Josiah Harmar near present-day Fort Wayne, Indiana. This defeat highlighted the growing resistance of Native American tribes against U.S. expansion into their territories. Little Turtle's success at this battle was a key moment in the conflict over land in the Northwest Territory.
