- The Copus massacre is a name given to a skirmish occurring on September 15, 1812, between American settlers and Lenape, Wyandot, and Mohawk Native Americans on the Ohio frontier during the War of 1812. The massacre resulted from a misunderstanding between Reverend James Copus and the members of the Native American tribes. Copus was instructed to persuade the tribes to relocate to the Piqua Reservation before the United States would force them to do so. However, even after reaching an agreement with the tribes, American soldiers razed the tribe's homes, burning the entire village to the ground. Assuming Copus's betrayal, the Native Americans then retaliated. The massacre is named for Reverend James Copus, who died during an attack on his house. In addition to Reverend Copus, 3 American soldiers died in the conflict; 2 to 11 Lenape, Wyandot, and Mohawk people died. The American settlers were defending Charles Mill Lake, Ohio while the displaced Lenape, Wyandot, and Mohawk people were most likely retaliating against multiple forced displacements and the Americans' destruction of their homes.
