Historical Cons

Circa 1804, General William Henry Harrison would hold parties and get groups of ordinary natives drunk out of their minds, then get them to sign treaties handing over their lands without compensation. These were just ordinary men without authority to sign treaties. The US government insisted these phony treaties were valid and killed the natives living on those ceded lands as trespassers.
