How was Ohio obtained in 1770?

Answer 1

Ohio was not officially obtained in 1770, as it was part of the larger territory claimed by various colonial powers and Native American tribes. The land was part of the Northwest Territory, which was established after the American Revolutionary War through the Treaty of Paris in 1783. However, tensions over land ownership and settlement increased during the 1770s as settlers moved westward. The eventual acquisition of Ohio was formalized in the late 18th century through treaties with Native American tribes and the establishment of the Northwest Ordinance in 1787.
