Black Hawk War (1832) - The Black Hawk War was fought in 1832 in the Midwestern section of the United States. The war was named for Black Hawk, the leader of a band of Sauk and Fox American Indians, who fought against the U.S. Army and Illinois militia for possession of lands in the region. On 2 Aug 1832, U.S. soldiers attacked the remnants of the hostiles at the Battle of Bad Axe. Black Hawk and others escaped, but later surrendered and were imprisoned. Treaties ending the Black Hawk War were signed with the Ho-Chunk (15 Sep 1832) and Sauk and Fox (21 Sep 1832) at Fort Armstrong (3), Illinois.
