Treaty of Greenville

The Treaty of Greenville, signed in 1795, was an agreement between the United States and various Native American tribes following the Northwest Indian War. It established a boundary line, giving the U.S. control over large parts of present-day Ohio and Indiana, and in return, the tribes received money and goods to settle their claims and avoid further conflict. This treaty marked a significant step in U.S. expansion into Native lands, often leading to the displacement of Native peoples and changing the region's demographic and cultural landscape.
