This opposition occurred mainly from 1784 to 1790, when Indian raids took place in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Kentucky. Many frontiersmen and settlers were killed during these raids. The violence culminated in the battle of the Fallen Timbers during 1794, when the Indians were defeated by U.S. soldiers. They were obliged to surrender and accept the Treaty of Greenville in 1795. The treaty provided the colonialists with the right to settle I the state of Ohio, and the Indians only with the right to maintain their territory in the north-western corner of the state.
Under the North-Western Ordinances, settlers were guaranteed certain rights, which would become constitutionally guaranteed later. They received the right of freedom to religion, the right to a jury trial, and the permanent abolition of slavery in these territories.
