]]> The Treaty with the Sacs of 1816 was signed on May 13, 1816 between the U.S. and the Sacs of Rock River after hostilities during the War of 1812. It reaffirmed the Treaty of St. Louis of 1804 and placed the Sacs on the same footing as before the war, provided they return stolen property.

The treaty formally aligned the Sacs with the U.S. in exchange for renewed annuities.
