Ohio, the "Buckeye" state, was home to many peaceful Native Americans before the settlers forged west and the history of Ohio became bloody and brutal. The violent frontier in Ohio, pioneers and soldiers continued to encroach on natives lives and forced them from their homes on the east coast to Ohio. Unfortunately, this created a more violent and brutal way of life. From the pioneers to the soldiers, the disrespect of the natives and the brutal way they were disposed of created an anger that would fuel the souls of the Native American tribesman forever. The most brutal massacre in Ohio's history is the Gnadenhutten Massacre. The very peaceful, unarmed, Delaware Christian Indians were murdered, bodies piled inside their mission buildings. Men, women, and children were murdered and the soldiers burned their remains along with burning the entire village. These Natives were pacifists and posed no threat to anyone. The massacre became a main source of revenge from the other Native American Indian tribes for almost 30 years. Ohio, a Union State during the Civil War, sent over 320,000 men that were 60% of the men in the state. Only two minor battles occurred with-in the state boundaries, but the soldiers fought in all the major bloody and horrific battles during the war. Casualties were gruesome, horrific, and the stench of death burned into their psyche, the evilness of war is something you never forget. Those whom were fortunate to return suffered: infection, dismemberment, disease, or the psychological damage. The Civil War produced industrialization and manufacturing in Ohio. Cleveland became a ship building gold mine. Garment industries flourished. The increased wealth brought greed and money ruled society. With industrialization came the common deaths on the floors of the manufacturing plants which occurred often. There were no safety devices on machinery. Many men, women, and children were at risk. Once injured, you may have never returned. Many co-workers did not know if you lived or died. Cincinnati also played an important role during the Civil War because it was a port city where supplies were transported by ship. Cincinnati was across the river from the "slave state" of Kentucky and Ohio was a “free state”. The Underground Railroad route and all the brutality that came with trying to escape slavery came to Cincinnati, Ohio. From the massacred Native Americans, to the thousands of damaged soldiers, the Black slaves who attempted escape from their captors, Ohio contains the revengeful souls of the men, women, and children who become enslaved in purgatory of the most violent and industrious time in Ohio's history. From the gruesome and violent battles, brutal wars, to the industrialization of our state, Ohio has seen its share and now paying the price. Our state rich in the evils of history is now one of the area’s best in the haunt world. Ohio is pivotal in the vortex of evils and of the ancient history of our country.
