Treaty of Greenville and Battle of Fallen Timbers

The video discusses the Battle of Fallen Timbers, following the defeat at the Battle of the Wabash. Congress agreed to form the Legion of the United States, led by General Anthony Wayne, to conquer the Northwest Territory. Wayne's rigorous training transformed recruits into a strong unit. In August 1794, Wayne's forces defeated a large Indian force led by Chief Blue Jacket. The British refused to support the Indians, leading to the Treaty of Greenville in 1795, which ceded most of Ohio to the U.S. The video concludes with a preview of Washington's Farewell Address.
