Because they learned from their mistakes: when they allowed American settlers into what is known today as Texas, the American settlers eventually revolted and joined the United States, thus resulting in the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848. When Mexico lost that war, the territories of California, Texas, Nevada and Utah as well as parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, Wyoming and Colorado were also lost.

How did American Indians react to white settlers in the Northwest Territory?

American Indians in the Northwest Territory reacted to white settlers with a mix of resistance and adaptation. Many tribes, such as the Shawnee and Miami, initially sought to defend their lands through warfare and alliances, notably forming confederations to resist encroachment. Others attempted to coexist by engaging in trade or adopting some aspects of European culture. Ultimately, the pressure from settlers led to significant loss of land and sovereignty for Native American communities in the region.
