the first serious test of the new territorial militia came during the war of 1812 which lasted from june 18, 1812, to february 18, 1815. the british provided arms to their indian allies to conduct attacks on american settlers in missouri and the northwest territories for several years prior to the commencement of the war. the british viewed the indian nations inhabiting the mississippi river valley as valuable allies and a buffer to its canadian colonies. the sauk and fox tribes were key british allies in the war along the western frontier. while no major land battles were fought in the region during the war, the skirmishes with the indian nations and their british allies in the area north of the missouri river continued throughout the war and until well after the official conclusion of the war in 1815.
