Page "Battle of Fort Dearborn" Paragraph 1

The battle lasted only about 15 minutes and resulted in a complete victory for the Indians.

Fort Dearborn was burned down and those soldiers and settlers that survived were taken captive.

Some were later ransomed.

After the war, however, settlers continued to seek to enter the area, the fort was rebuilt in 1816, and settlers and the government were now convinced that all Indians had to be removed from the territory, far away from the settlement.
