You had to pick the one set I'm haziest on.

From what I remember, the majority of the Indian Wars took place in the 1790s during America's first attempt to consolidate control over the Northwest Territory, the War of 1812 when Tecumseh sided with the British, and various conflagrations of the 1830s when several tribes didn't take too kindly to relocation.

Most were short campaigns, sparked by a raid by Native Americans who were then forcibly put down by a detachment of the United States Army. Like many things they didn't get more than a very cursory mention in my history class and I was left to read about them of my own volition.

In particular I studied the Blackhawk War of 1832 and the Northwest Indian War of 1784-1794. The latter in particular peaked my interest, as I did an intense study of early American History, especially pertaining to the Northwest Territory.

I realize I'm not relating any details but there are a lot and I'm not sure which in particular you're interested in.
