What growing problem in the Northwest Territory did the United States face?
0 Pirates and militia were enforcing their own justice aimed at American Indians and settlers.
O American Indians in the area were mounting violent resistance to American settlement.
O Settlers were overwhelmingly in support of the US entering the war between France and Britain.
O French troops began to occupy outposts and establish forts in the Ohio River Valley.
The American Indians had been in the continental United States far longer and did not want to give up their territory to the eventual Americans. They put up a fierce resistance but ultimately failed in the long run. They caught the flu which the Europeans gave to them and a HUGE amount of them died out because of it
