Wayne defeated Native American tribes allied with the Western Confederacy that included the Kickapoo, Shawnee, Chikamauga Cherokee, Wyandot, Missisaugas, Iroquois Confederacy and host of other tribes who were supported by the British against the United States Army. Wayne led an infantry charge while his cavalry outmaneuvered the enemy. The British abandoned the Indians as Wayne proceeded to burn crops and villages. This helped the American established treaties that secured the land for the Americans and the British withdrawal from the territories.
