The increasing revolts against white settlers by Native Americans were primarily driven by the loss of land and resources due to westward expansion. As settlers encroached on their territories, Native American tribes faced displacement, destruction of their traditional ways of life, and threats to their sovereignty. Additionally, broken treaties and the U.S. government's failure to uphold agreements fueled resentment and resistance among Native American communities. This culmination of factors led to heightened tensions and uprisings against settlers.

Additionally, misunderstandings and differing views on land ownership further exacerbated tensions between the two groups.


Why did native Americans in the nothwest go to war in the early 1790s?

Native Americans in the Northwest went to war in the early 1790s primarily in response to increasing encroachments by American settlers and the U.S. government on their lands. Tensions escalated as settlers moved into the Ohio River Valley and beyond, threatening indigenous territories and resources. In 1790 and 1791, various tribes formed alliances to resist these incursions, leading to conflicts such as the Northwest Indian War. The desire to protect their sovereignty and way of life prompted these tribes to take up arms against the expanding American frontier.
