By The Treaty Of Fort Harmar

From A chapter of the history of the War of 1812 in the Northwest. ...:

They [Native Americans] hoped to regain their old boundary, the Ohio River. In this they were consistent: they had contended for it in the War of 1791, and when our government endeavored after Harmar's and St. Clair's defeats, and before Wayne's campaign, to make peace with them, they unitedly refused, except upon the terms of this boundary; and our Government during its negotiations with them had to put in the plea, that, as by the treaty of "Fort Harmar" a part of the territory had been ceded to the United States, and already partially occupied in good faith, the old limits could not be agreed too, but that the then existing limits and boundaries should forever be held sacred and inviolate. British officers and agents had promised them in 1791, if they would make a general war on the American settlements already established in the north-western territory, that all the power and all the warriors of the king of Great Britain, their great father beyond the rising sun, should be brought to their support, and would certainly secure to them forever the boundary of the Ohio River.
