History of the BLACK HAWK 1832 Battle Streamer
In the spring of 1832, tensions escalated between a faction of Sauk and Fox Indians, led by Black Hawk, and settlers in Illinois over disputed lands. Black Hawk's refusal to retreat led to clashes with the military, culminating in a skirmish near present-day Dixon, Illinois, in May. Despite setbacks, including heavy losses, Brig. Gen. Henry Atkinson's forces persisted, ultimately defeating Black Hawk's band in July near Madison, Wisconsin, and decisively at the confluence of the Mississippi and Bad Axe in August. This campaign, known as the Black Hawk War, marked a significant chapter in the settlement of the American frontier.
