Due to the Sandusky River, which was a major water route connecting Canada to the Mississippi River utilized by early French traders, the area was highly trafficked. As trading posts emerged on the lake in the Sandusky, small communities started appearing to the east of where Toledo is today (Mossing 17). Catholic historian John Gilmary Shea claimed the first traces of Catholic missionaries visiting the territory was the Society of Jesus, more commonly known as the Jesuits, in 1742. The Jesuits are a religious order founded during the Counter-Reformation period (McBrien 177).
At the time, the territory was under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Quebec, Reverend Henry M. De Pont Briand, sixth Bishop of Quebec. Pont Briand requested the Order

The village was approximately six miles south of where Fort Sandusky would be built by the English. The chapel and its altar were the first of their kind to be permanently built in the area. However, in the years following, the Western Missions faced turmoil; the Society of Jesus and the loss of Canada by the French broke them up. When Richardie passed away in 1781, there were no other Catholic missionaries to replace him. With the loss of the Jesuit Fathers to foster the Catholic presence and care for the Sandusky Mission, Catholicism nearly disappeared from the area for several years (10). It was not until the Redemptorists and Sanguinists came to the area in 1833 and 1834, respectively, that a resurgence of Catholicism was noted. The Redemptorists are members of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, a Roman Catholic missionary congregation founded by Saint Alphonsus Liguori. The Sanguinists were Missionaries of the Precious Blood, a community of priests within the Roman Catholic Church. Members do not take vows, but are held together by the bond of charity only and by a promise to not leave the community (Mossing …show more content…
However, the English were equally determined, with aide from the Native Americans, to keep their hold on the valley. In February 1794, the English ordered that a fort be built on the Maumee River called Fort Miami. But, following the defeat of the Native Americans at Fallen Timbers by General Anthony Wayne on August 20, 1794, the English power was weakened. Further crippling their forces, the Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigations, more commonly known as the Jay Treaty , was signed in February 1795, and the Treaty of Greenville on August 3, 1795. On July 11, 1796, the stronghold withdrew and American forces took over (Hanley
There are several types of murders that one could commit. For example, serial murders are a sequence of murders in which there is a time break between victims which could range between days or even months. To be defined as a serial killer, one would have to kill several victims in three or more separate events.
“Ask a psychopath what love is and he’ll go on and on, but he has never felt it himself…If you catch him lying, he’ll just shift gears and go on as though nothing had happened” (Goleman). Ted Bundy was one of the most famous psychopaths in the history of the country (Nordheimer). People say he was the perfect killer- handsome, intelligent, witty, and charming (Boynton 25). Bundy was the complete opposite of what people thought a serial killer looked like, so his victims did not fear him (“Ted Bundy”). Robert Keppel, an expert on serial killers, stated, “He taught us that a serial killer can appear to be absolutely normal, the guy next door (“Serial Killers and Mass Murderers”). At one point he was working for a suicide hotline; a friend
Maryusha Antonovksy was no more. In her place stood Mary Antin, the same immigrant Jewish girl but with a new “American” name. Mary had also bought “real American machine-made garments” to replace her “hateful” homemade European-style clothes. “I long to forget,” she said. “It is painful to be conscious of two worlds.”
The Compromise of 1763: How the Compromise of 1763 resolve conflict between Native Americans and settlers
However, much to the displeasure of the Indians, the Native Americans were not invited to the treaty. In a speech at the Confederate Council of 1786, the speaker orates the Indians’ disappointment in not being included in the treaty. The concerns and wishes of the general Indian council were ignored when inclusion may have promoted friendship and compromise between the United States and Indian tribes (Document D). The Northwest Indian War reflected conflict between the Indians and colonists as the colonists expanded westward onto Native American territory. The Indians’ defeat in the Battle of Fallen Timbers was negotiated in the Treaty of Greenville, which forced Indian tribes to cede the northwest territory to the colonists. Those who settled into the Northwest Territory could apply for statehood once a certain quota was reached. Additionally, according to Article 6 of the Northwest Land Ordinance of 1787, slavery and involuntary servitude was illegal (Document E). However, the attraction of the Northwest Land Ordinance of 1787 was that it provided a precedence for westward expansion amongst the
In 1758, English and Indian tribes meet at Easton and signed the Treaty of Easton. This treaty granted the English the road they wanted to use to get to Fort Duquesne, without the attack of Indians. The East Delaware Indians got to trade again, and the West Delaware Indians were given back Wyoming valley. This alliance resulted in neutrality between the two sides, for the time being. This agreement had benefits for both the English and the Indians, and lead to the victory of the English over French territory, pushing them up North.
In July 1755, a few miles south of Fort Duquesne, now Pittsburg where the Alegheny and Monongahela rivers meet, a combined force of French and Indians ambushed British and colonial troops. This catastrophe was to ultimately become the starting point of the French and Indian War. During the “Seven Years War”, as the French and Indian War is commonly called, there were wins and losses on both sides, but ultimately the British were victorious with the help of William Pitt. However, the War caused England many economic, political, and ideological tribulations with the American colonists.
France and Britain both wanted to control the Indian lands in the Ohio Valley, because controlling the valley meant control of America. France pushed south, and newly chosen Major George Washington was in charge of getting them out. France already set up forts at vital areas of the land. Washington and his few troops built a form in Western Pennsylvania, Fort Necessity. Washington’s few men lost when the French attacked on July 3rd, 1754. Three days of battle ended when Washington surrendered, after 1/3 of his 300 men were wounded or worse, and France was in control.
After earning his bachelor of science in chemical engineering and his master of science in environmental engineering at Manhattan College in the Bronx, New York, Phil Pulaski worked for four years as a civil engineer with New York City offices of US Environmental Engineering. His duties at this time revolved around creating computer models of natural water systems and designing wastewater plant pollution control systems. While employed by US Environmental Engineering, Phil Pulaski attended St John's University Law School in Queens to obtain his juris doctor.
Indians. In 1754, Washington was given rights to construct a fortress in proximity of Pittsburgh.
Most of these tribes had sided with the British. Native Americans, finding themselves continually encroached upon by the expanding settlers, were openly hostile. Treaties signed by various Native American Tribes in 1784 and 1785 at Fort Stanwix and Fort McIntosh attempted to address the Native American claim to territories in the Old Northwest. Not all tribes making claim to the area agreed to the treaties. Finally, in 1789, the governor of the Northwest Territory, Arthur St. Clair, authorized by Secretary of War Henry Knox, negotiated with the Iroquois Six Nations, Wyandot, Delaware, Ottawa, Chippewa, Potawatomi, and Sauk. The Treaty of Fort Harmar, ignored by the Miami, Shawnee, and other tribes was the last attempt at a diplomatic solution. Hostilities continued and by the end of 1790, the white settlers of the Old Northwest demanded protection from the federal government. Open hostilities led to

The farmer’s residence was mostly peaceful- until 1794, when federal officers stepped up efforts to collect the tax. A large mob of people armed with weapons attacked tax collectors and burned down buildings. The armed protest, called the Whiskey Rebellion alarmed government leaders. Washington and all of his advisors decided to crush the challenge. If citizens wanted to change the law they could do so peacefully. In the Treaty of Greenville, 1795, the Native Americans agreed to surrender most of their land in present day Ohio. Proclamation of Neutrality, prohibited Americans from fighting in the war and barred French and British warships from American ports. War with the U.S would only make it harder it harder to carry on the war with the French, and the U.S was Britain's best market. In Jay’s Treaty the British agreed to withdraw from American soil, pay for damage they caused, and allow some American ships to trade with the British. In 1795, Pinckney’s Treaty gave the Americans free navigation of the Mississippi River and the right to trade at New Orleans.
