Heretofore, the cause of the Black Hawk War has been attributed to a minor frontier incident. On the contrary, the worst Indian conflict in Utah's history was a natural outgrowth of white settler's encroachment on their lands and broken promises. With the attention of the federal government directed to the Civil War, the Ute Indians were generally neglected. The Mormon settlers had lost their enthusiasm for maintaining the Indians when the government assumed that role. A combination of oppression and starvation drove some of the Utes to fight in order to survive.
