History of North America

What did the U.S gain from Treaty of Greenville?

Treaty of Greenville was signed between US federal government and Native Americans in 1795, marking the end of Northwest Indian War and securing significant gains for the US. One of the key gains from this treaty was the cession of a vast territory in the Ohio Valley by Native American tribes, including the area that is present day Ohio and parts of Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. This land acquisition was crucial for the United States as it expanded its territorial control in the region, facilitated westward expansion, and opened up new opportunities for settlement and economic development.
