As a result of the Patriot victory in the Revolutionary War, the land north of the Ohio River, west of
Pennsylvania, and east of the Mississippi River became part of the United States. Americans called
the area the Northwest Territory.
Although the British ceded the area to the United States, Native Americans already lived there. In the
late 1780s, violence broke out in the Ohio country as American settlers moved into areas promised to
Native Americans by treaty. Often the settlers were illegal squatters, who simply claimed land without
having any legal right to do so.
The Treaties
Arthur St. Clair, the governor of the Northwest Territory, tried to protect American settlers and establish
a peaceful relationship with the Native Americans. He proposed a series treaties aimed at convincing
Native Americans to give up their claims to much of the land. The Treaty of Fort McIntosh in 1785, for
example, set a boundary line between the United States and the Wyandot and Delaware nations. Many
Native Americans of the region rejected the treaty, in part because they felt the Native Americans who
signed it did not have the authority to do so. The Treaty of Fort Harmar in 1789 restated the terms of
the Treaty of Fort McIntosh.
The Forts
From 1778 to 1794, St. Clair established forts in the Northwest Territory, mostly in what is present-day
Ohio. These forts served multiple purposes. They were meant to control and to protect the settlers, as
well as to provide staging areas for military attacks against the Native Americans. Staging areas are
places where soldiers and military equipment are gathered before being sent out on military
Answer: Louis XIV and James II aspired to an absolutist system of government.
Explanation:
Similarities: Both rulers advocated absolutism as a system of government. We can define the state in absolutism as a monarchy. It is a system of government created by breaking the links between the Middle Ages and the New Age. The rulers, as proponents of these ideas, sought to put all the institutions of the state under their control. The most obvious example of an absolutist monarchy in Europe is France.
Differences : Unlike the French ruler Louis XIV, who fully implemented his absolutist values, this was not the case with James II. James II in his quest to make England an absolutist monarchy did not find popular support. James II's intentions were contrary to the views of the English Parliament. In the end, coming into conflict with Parliament and even the church (absolutism implied the subjugation of the church), James II would ultimately lose this battle. On the other hand, Louis XIV did not have these problems and until his death, he enjoyed the absolutist model of government.
