How religion can be both a unifying and a dividing force? Use examples to explain this seeming contradiction.

Religion is uniting because they allow a group of people of a different race to believe in the same thing. It is probably the most divisive problem because everyone thinks that they are correct and others are incorrect; this is how Christians, Jews, and Muslims usually conflict with each other even though they are similar.

Explanation:

saint clair’s defeat, (november 4, 1791), one of the worst defeats ever suffered by u.s. forces in indian warfare, precipitated by british-indian confrontation with settlers and militia in the northwest territory following the american revolution. despite specific provisions in the treaty of 1783 for the evacuation of its forts on the northwestern border, britain had failed to yield these lucrative fur-trading posts. in hopes of reclaiming lost hunting grounds with british support, a northwest indian confederation was gradually molded between 1785 and 1787, consisting mainly of shawnee, delaware, ottawa, iroquois, ojibwa, miami, and potawatomi. kentucky frontiersmen reacted to this threat by initiating raiding parties on native villages as early as 1788, and indian warfare flared up the following year.
