White settlers in the Northwest Territory were primarily brought in by various colonial and federal policies, including the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which encouraged settlement and land acquisition. Additionally, individuals and groups such as the Ohio Company actively promoted migration to the region. This influx often led to conflicts with Native American tribes, as settlers encroached on lands traditionally inhabited by Indigenous peoples.

What contributed to the conflict between settlers and Native Americans?

A majority of the settlers not only brought diseases because of their filth (that the Indians were not immune to), but also brought starvation and poverty due to their greed for fashionable animal skins, greed for unique Indian possessions, and introduction of alchoholic beverage to the Indians. To the Indians the Americans were greedy and selfish barbarians who came to destroy them and take their land. Incidentally, scalping was also introduced by the British during the French and Indian war as a means of verification that the Indians were doing their job of killing the French.
