War and national identity
2006
Overview
In 1831 the government enforced an 1804 treaty made with the Sauk to remove them from Illinois across the Mississippi to the Iowa territory. The treaty is surely one of the dodgiest in a long line of suspect agreements made between whites and natives. Black Hawk certainly didn't recognize its legitimacy, and in April 1832 he led a small band back across the Mississippi to reclaim the Sauk settlement at Saukenuk, the cultural and spiritual center of their world. A series of battles ensued as troops pursued Black Hawk up into Wisconsin, culminating Aug. 2 at Bad Ax, along the eastern bank of the Mississippi. Bad Ax was not so much a battle as a massacre. By this point, the Sauk were starving, beleaguered and retreating desperately. Troops responded with butchery so savage that even some officers were appalled. So ended the Black Hawk War.
