  Black Hawk War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
The Black Hawk War was a war fought in 1832 in the Midwestern section of the United States of America between American settlers and Native Americans.
The war was named for Black Hawk, the leader of a band of Sauk and Fox Indians, and was the result of government annexation of lands in Illinois.
Black Hawk did not sanction the sale of this land and was determined to regain the village; after a year of tension, he returned again in 1831, and Illinois Governor John Reynolds proclaimed it an "invasion of the state".
