This action /e@§ _ Black Hawk's naturally did not tend to add to his popularity with Sam. Accordingly, when the War of 1812 was over, andthe nation: z ai a position to back up its demands by foree, the ' treaty was formally ratified.

However, Be reckoned without ans knowledge whatsoever of the chief's stubbert courage. >Next spring Black Hawk, with his bDyaves, recroseed the Misstustppt: He ‘split up his army into separate bamds-and scattered them through Mtppts and Wisconsin, where they attacked the white settlers and spread all along the frontier, Another United) States foree, led by Gen! ort, the hero of Lundy's Lane, was sent to put him down, but a cholers ~idemie amon roldlers wrecked the expedition. Emboldened by this, the Indians -{ncreased their depredations and carried their raids still further into the white.men’s country.
