Answer: Black Hawk fought on the side of the British against the US in the hope of pushing white American settlers away from Sauk territory.

Explanation: Later, he led a band of Sauk and Fox warriors, known as the British Band, against white settlers in Illinois and present-day Wisconsin during the 1832 Black Hawk War. After the war, he was captured by US forces and taken to the Eastern US, where he and other war leaders were taken on a tour of several cities.
