The Battle of Bad Axe occurred on August 1-2, 1832, during the Black Hawk War in present-day Wisconsin. The conflict arose when the Sauk and Fox Native American tribes, led by Chief Black Hawk, resisted forced removal from their ancestral lands in Illinois and Iowa.
After a series of skirmishes and battles during the Black Hawk War, the Sauk and Fox tribes found themselves pursued by the U.S. Army and Illinois militia, including the 1,300-man Illinois militia under the command of Colonel Henry Dodge. The Native American forces were greatly outnumbered and suffering from dwindling supplies and exhaustion.
The decisive battle took place near the Bad Axe River, where the Illinois militia and U.S. Army forces caught up with Black Hawk and his followers. Despite being cornered and outnumbered, the Sauk and Fox warriors fought fiercely but were ultimately overwhelmed by the superior firepower and numbers of the American forces.
The battle at Bad Axe was a one-sided affair, resulting in significant casualties among the Native American forces. Many of the Sauk and Fox, including non-combatants, were killed during the battle or in the subsequent pursuit by the American forces. Chief Black Hawk himself was captured shortly after the battle, effectively ending the Black Hawk War.
Do you guys think that the boat driver survived?

Members of the Belarusian opposition want to seize part of the country before establishing their own rule and calling in NATO forces to defend them, the country’s ruler Alexander Lukashenko claimed at a congress of Belarusian officials and industry leaders in Minsk on Thursday.
Speaking on the second day of the All-Belarusian People’s Assembly, Lukashenko alleged that opposition activists planned to capture the Kobryn district of Belarus’s southwestern Brest region, which straddles the country’s borders with Ukraine and Poland.
He did not offer any evidence to support his claims or details as to how the alleged plan to capture the district would work, saying only that members of the opposition planned to “seize it, declare their authority, appeal to NATO [and] bring in troops”.
Lukashenko further alleged that the United States was preparing an underground “Belarusian liberation army” to oust him, with the head of the country’s KGB Ivan Tertel claiming that 1,000 “militants” had undergone training in Ukraine and 300 in Poland as part of a plan to attack Belarus.
Tertel also alleged that the Belarusian security services had thwarted a drone attack on Minsk supposedly launched from Lithuania, where many exiled Belarusians are based, in claims Lithuanian officials quickly dismissed as “disinformation”.
