Revolutionary War and War of 1812.
On June 18, 1812, the United States declared war on Great
Britain because England had harassed our merchant marine and interfered with our
frontier settlements. The Pottawatomies, Sauks, Foxes, and other tribes in and
around the Illinois Territory allied themselves with the British in hopes of
protecting their hunting lands from the Americans. In response to the killings
of American citizens near Fort Dearborn and other attacks on isolated white
settlers, Territorial Governor Ninian Edwards recruited hundreds of volunteer
militiamen and rangers.
Meanwhile, the U.S. sent federal troops to Missouri to prevent Britain's Indian allies from attacking St. Louis and settlements in west central Illinois.
