With the appointment of William Henry Harrison as the Governor of the Indiana Territory in 1801, the westward expansion of European settlers into the Indiana territory was inevitable. Harrison aggressively pursued treaties with the native tribes of the territory, acquiring upwards of 51-million acres of land for European settlement. After the War of 1812, the westward expansion of the United States accelerated, with settlers being offered 80-160 acres tracts, almost for free. Indiana would become a state in 1816, but not before numerous battles with the Indigenous peoples of the territory.
