Over 2000 dead in the Northwest Indian War.

I normally wouldn't have copy and pasted that much text, but I thought I'd save anyone the time of having to scroll through a 63 page PDF.

Ok, so 4000 dead soldiers makes a one-year war "endless." I understand completely.

  • No, the fact that conflicts never ceased under the articles makes the war "endless". By the way, it was a 10 year war, not a 1 year war.

    And would it have been preferable if any colony could, itself, decide to start a confrontation? "in 1786 the Kentucky militia launched the first major frontier military action since the end of the Revolutionary War."
