<strong>The</strong>se were crucial years for<br />
the Sauk and Mesquakie<br />
tribes. First, the U.S.<br />
purchased the Louisiana<br />
Territory from the French.<br />
Soon, U.S. officials arrived at<br />
St. Louis to claim the Upper<br />
Mississippi Valley. Shortly<br />
after, a Sauk warrior killed a<br />
white settler north of St St.<br />
Louis. U.S. officials<br />
demanded that the local<br />
leaders turn over the warrior warrior.<br />
<strong>The</strong> warrior was locked up in<br />
Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis.
