how did the us get the ohio river valley?
in 1783
the 1768 treaty of fort stanwix opened kentucky to colonial settlement and established the ohio river as a southern boundary for american indian territory. in 1774, the quebec act restored the land east of the mississippi river and north of the ohio river to quebec, in effect making the ohio the southern boundary of canada. this appeased the canadian british subjects but angered the thirteen colonies. lord dunmore's war south of the ohio river also contributed to giving the land north to quebec to stop further encroachment of the british colonials on native land. during the american revolution, in 1776 the british military engineer john montrésor created a map of the river showing the strategic location of fort pitt, including specific navigational information about the ohio river's rapids and tributaries in that area. however, the treaty of paris (1783) gave the entire ohio valley to the united states.
