Black Hawk's motives were ambiguous, but he was apparently hoping to avoid bloodshed while resettling on land that had been ceded to the United States in a disputed 1804 treaty.

As U. S. forces pursued Black Hawk's band, Native Americans conducted raids against forts and settlements.

Against the advice of Keokuk and Forsyth, Black Hawk's faction returned to Saukenuk in the spring of 1830.

When the British Band once again returned to Saukenuk in 1831, Black Hawk's following had grown to about 1, 500 people, and now included some Potawatomis, a people with close ties to the Sauks and Meskwakis.

Meanwhile, Keokuk convinced many of Black Hawk's followers to leave Illinois.

Black Hawk's intentions upon reentering Illinois are not entirely clear, since reports from both white and Indian sources are conflicting.

Although the return of Black Hawk's band worried U. S. officials, they were at the time more concerned about the possibility of a war among the Native American tribes in the region.

Although Atkinson did not realize it, his boats passed Black Hawk's band.

According to Patrick Jung, leaders on both sides had little chance of avoiding bloodshed at this point, because the militiamen and some of Black Hawk's warriors were spoiling for a fight.

Many white settlers, recalling the Fort Dearborn massacre of 1812, distrusted the Potawatomis and assumed that they would join Black Hawk's uprising.

On May 12, the militiamen learned that Black Hawk's band was only twenty-five miles away.

All accounts agree that Black Hawk's warriors attacked the militia camp at dusk.

To Black Hawk's surprise, his forty warriors completely routed the much larger militia force.

The gap on Interstate 64 between Sam Black Church and Charleston forced east – west traffic to use a scenic but treacherous section of U. S. Highway 60 known as the Midland Trail through Rainelle and Ansted before the road descended Gauley Mountain at Hawk's Nest to the Kanawha River Valley to reach Charleston.

This coincides with Hawk's claim that every spirit must pass through the Black Lodge on the way to perfection and that the Red Room leads to the White Lodge as well.

The first event held at the arena was Tony Hawk's Boom-Boom Huck Jam, on July 14, while its first concert, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, with The Black Crowes, was held on July 18.

Black Hawk's father Pyesa was the tribal medicine man of the Sauk people.

Little is known about Black Hawk's youth.

A number of other engagements followed, and the militias of Michigan Territory and Illinois were mobilized to hunt down Black Hawk's Band.

Black Hawk's British Band was composed of about 500 warriors and 1, 000 old men, women and children when they crossed the Mississippi on April 5.

In one example, a band of hostile Ho-Chunk intent on joining Black Hawk's Band attacked and killed the party of Felix St. Vrain after the outbreak of war ; European Americans called it the St. Vrain massacre.

From April to August, Potawatomi warriors also joined with Black Hawk's Band.

The term " black metal " was coined by the English band Venom with their second album Black Metal ( 1982 ).

The band played in this style on their first four albums: Bathory ( 1984 ), The Return of the Darkness and Evil ( 1985 ), Under the Sign of the Black Mark ( 1987 ) and Blood Fire Death ( 1988 ).

Macainsh played with John Farnham on his Whispering Jack Tour and with Dave Warner's from the Suburbs, in 1988 he put together and managed a very successful AC / DC tribute band called Back in Black who went on to support Skyhooks on their comeback tour.

None of the band came from Guildford: Black is from Ilford, Burnel from Notting Hill, Cornwell from Kentish Town and Greenfield from Brighton, while Wärmling came from Sweden and returned there after leaving the band.

Cornwell was a blues musician prior to forming the band and had briefly been a bandmate of Richard Thompson, Burnel had been a classical guitarist who had performed with symphony orchestras, Jet Black was a jazz drummer, and Dave Greenfield had played at military bases in Germany.
