Miami Confederacy

The Miami Confederacy, also known as the Western Confederacy, was a loose confederacy of North American Indians (Miami tribe) in the Great Lakes region following the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783). The confederacy, which had its roots in pan-tribal movements dating to the 1740s, came together to resist the expansion of the United States into the Northwest Territory after Great Britain ceded the region to the United States after the war. The resistance resulted in the Northwest Indian War (1785–1795), which ended with the U.S. victory at the Battle of Fallen Timbers.
