082: The Antebellum Period: Pacifying the Pacific Northwest

In the aftermath of settling the border dispute between British
Canada and the United States in the Pacific Northwest, the United
States moved to consolidate their hold over the region.
Territorial governor Isaac Stevens quickly concluded a series of
treaties with the Tribes of the region. Unfortunately, the
tensions associated with this process lead to violence in eastern
and western Washington. In a series of brief but violent
skirmishes, tensions remained, but American hold over the
territory was complete.
