Answer:
With the Treaty of Greenville, signed in present-day Greenville, Ohio, in August 1795, the Indians ceded much of present-day Ohio, which, in 1803, became America’s 17th state. By the terms of the treaty, the Indians also ceded parts of Indiana, Illinois and Michigan. Once Wayne realized that the British at Fort Miamis would not help their allies, he and his men torched the surrounding villages and crops. It would serve as a painful lesson for many of the confederation’s member tribes. Several chiefs refused to sign the treaty, however, and their recalcitrance would come to haunt the United States at the beginning of the 19th century.
