ABSTRACT
The Treaty of Paris signed in 1783 ignored the place of Native Americans as the victorious colonists looked to realign the territories taken from the British. In fact, the new Confederacy Congress, the first government of the new, independent states of America, looked upon Native Americans as conquered peoples since most had sided with the British. Indians of the Old Northwest resisted the loosely organized American Confederation that regarded Native Americans as defeated and conquered peoples. The United States and the Native American Confederacy of the Old Northwest remained at war until the Treaty of Greenville, signed in 1795.
