THE HISTORY OF August 30th, I'm ___________________ .

And I’m ___________. Today in 1819: The Kickapoo cede their territory, which spans central Illinois, and move to Missouri. In 1670, the Kickapoo lived in what would become Wisconsin. They moved to Illinois and Indiana in 1765.

The nation gave up some 3 million acres in 1809, when Indians territorial governor, William Henry Harrison, bribed and intimidated the older and more moderate tribal leaders. The Kickapoo aided the British in the War of 1812 and, in 1832, some will join Black Hawk in the Sauk war against the United States.

Continually pushed by white settlers, the Kickapoo will move again from Missouri to Kansas. In 1852, they will be forced to Texas. Then some will move to Mexico while others will move to an Oklahoma reservation.
