After defeating the British in the Revolutionary War, the U.S. felt confident but stood little chance of success against the better ordered Western Confederacy forces. The well-organized native forces led by Little Turtle and Blue Jacket defeated soldiers led by General Harmar in 1790 and General St. Clair in 1791. Harmar's Defeat left 185 dead, and St. Clair's Defeat left 630 dead, including 37 officers, and 283 wounded, the worst American defeat at the hands of natives, with a 97.9 percent casualty rate.
