The Battle of Bad Axe, also known as the Bad Axe Massacre, occurred 1–2 August 1832, between Sauk (Sac) and Fox Indians and United States Army regulars and militia. This final battle of the Black Hawk War took place near present-day Victory, Wisconsin in the United States. It marked the end of the war between white settlers and militia in Illinois and Michigan Territory, and the Sauk and Fox tribes under warrior Black Hawk.
The battle occurred in the aftermath of the Battle of Wisconsin Heights, as Black Hawk's band fled the pursuing militia. The militia caught up with them on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River, a few miles downstream from the mouth of the Bad Axe River. The battle that followed was very one-sided: historians have called it a massacre since the 1850s. The fighting took place over two days, with the steamboat Warrior present on both days. By the second day, Black Hawk and most of the Native American leaders had fled, though many of the band stayed behind. The victory for the United States was decisive and the end of the war allowed much of Illinois and present-day Wisconsin to be opened for further settlement.
In 19th-century Illinois, tensions between settlers and local Native American tribes led to a series of escalating confrontations. The violent culmination of these conflicts drove Sauk leader Black Hawk and his tribe out of the state.

The Battle of Bad Axe
#shorts
The Battle of Bad Axe was a significant event that took place during the Black Hawk War in 1832. The conflict occurred near the Bad Axe River in present-day Wisconsin.
Black Hawk, a leader of the Sauk Native American tribe, had returned to Illinois after his people were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands in 1831. Black Hawk's actions were met with opposition from the U.S. government, which considered his return an act of aggression.
In August 1832, U.S. troops pursued Black Hawk and his followers as they attempted to cross the Mississippi River to escape to safety in Iowa. The pursuing forces engaged in a series of skirmishes, and on August 2, 1832, the final battle took place near the Bad Axe River.

On the first and second of August 1832 the battle of Bad Axe was fought between American forces and Black Hawk’s band of Sauk and Fox followers. On 1 August, Blackhawk and his group were attempting to cross the Mississippi river from Wisconsin to Iowa. As they were preparing canoes for the crossing the steamboat Warrior arrived. Black Hawk attempted to surrender, but Soldiers on Warrior opened fire. This engagement left some 23 dead Sauk. During the night, Blackhawk proposed moving north, but most of his followers disagreed and opted to again try to cross the Mississippi. Black Hawk and some 20 warriors turned north, leaving the main band. On 2 August, the American ground forces came upon the remaining band and engaged them. Warrior also returned to the battle. The Americans shot at...

Overwhelmed and outnumbered, Black Hawk's band suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of the U.S. military. The battle resulted in the deaths of around 150 Native American warriors, women, and children.
The Battle of Bad Axe effectively marked the end of the Black Hawk War. Black Hawk was captured shortly after the battle and taken into custody. The conflict led to the forced removal of the remaining Sauk and Fox tribes from their ancestral lands to reservations in Iowa.
The Battle of Bad Axe had long-lasting consequences for Native American tribes and further solidified the expansion of the United States into Native lands during the westward movement.

The Americans shot at anything that moved- women, children and the elderly included. In the end, over 250 Indians died at the scene and over 150 more the next several days. Black Hawk surrendered a few weeks later. Most accounts have termed Bad Axe a massacre. Bad Axe was the last US-Native American battle east of the Mississippi and provided secure area for setters in western Illinois.
