14. Although Connecticut's sovereignty over its Western Reserve was acknowledged by the United States in 1786, settlers generally didn't move to the area until 1795. Why not?
From Quiz Connecticut's Western Reserve
Answer:
Native American raids
Some Native American tribes (Wyandotte, Delaware, Chippewa, and Ottawa) had signed a treaty at Fort McIntosh (present-day Beaver, Pennsylvania) in 1785 to permit the settlement of New Connecticut and neighboring lands. However, the Spanish, the French, and especially the British objected to the spread of American settlers, but none of them were willing to commit their own troops to prevent it. Instead, their agents stoked the grievances of other Native American tribes, particularly the Shawnee, which led to the Northwest Indian War (1785-95), also known as the Ohio War. Not until United States victory in that war was confirmed by 1795's Treaty of Greenville, which extinguished most of the native claims in New Connecticut and surrounding areas, could the Western Reserve safely be settled.
