seem two alternate extremes. “On land, the War of 1812 was fought to define the nation’s boundaries” (Faragher p. 189). A handful of U.S. leaders, referred to as the “war hawks,” also wanted to expand into British Canada. They exploited fears about Tecumseh and naval complaints against the British to garner support for a conflict that would become known as the War of 1812. However, American believed that “Manifest Destiny” was a major factor in the cause Mexican-American war, the expansion of…

Economic: 1790- 1860* In 1790 to 1860, there were plenty of treaties, acts, and battles going on. In 1794, President George Washington sent John Jay to London, to avoid war with Britain. John Jay had to negotiate with the British to remove their forts from the U.S soil, including their troops, and to stop supplying weapons to Indians. This was known as the Jay Treaty. After the negotiation, the British still maintained trading posts on U.S soil and sold firearms to Indians. The British told the…

harsh to the Native Americans. He had made more than twelve treaties with the Native Americans within three years and he had grabbed fifty-one million acres of land from them. One of the Indian Tribe leaders, Tecumseh, was furious and claimed everything Harrison had done to them was illegal. Tecumseh declared war against Harrison. Harrison was a little rusty at being a commander of an army, due to being out of battle for a while. Many army officers were killed, but the Indians could not get…

Indians. From the information and the documents, I have read and informed I believe this statement is false. There were men and women such as John Ross, and Jane Gay who wanted to improve the Indians lifestyle and housing. Also, an Indian named Tecumseh that wanted people to fight against the Americans and believe they were not treating them well. John G. Burnett wrote in his journal describing the life of the Cherokees and of how they were driven out of their homes, “I saw the helpless…

the audience’s excitement at one hundred percent at all times. Without the band, who would keep the audience “pepped up”? Who would motivate the football team? On Friday, September 22nd, our Shawnee football team played against Tecumseh. Almost nobody was in the Tecumseh stands, including the lack of a band. Shawnee won. This wasn’t because of the sole reason that we have a band and they did not because I know our football team is pretty good, but we definitely kept the entire audience pumped…

During the period 1800 to 1890, the Plains Indians lost their ancestral homelands to white settlers from the USA, leading to them being forced into reservations. This was due to reasons including the actions of the federal government and the US army, their own mistakes which affected public opinion of them and the westward movement of settlers due to the railroads and the discovery of gold.

anything European. It was common for Traditionalists to go about this one of two ways, either flee from European society towards the mountains or to the West, or try to form a Traditionalist society. The most famous of these was started by Tecumseh. Tenskwatawa and Tecumseh were brothers of the Shawnee tribe who tried to unite all Native Americans. The pair did successfully unite between 2,000 to 3,000 Native Americans from a variety of tribes. It was the last point in time that Native Americans…

inspired by chief Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa who despised the white settlers. When Tecumseh visited and spoke before Chief Big Warrior and the grand council of the Creek Nation in Alabama in 1811, he demanded, “Burn their dwellings—destroy their stock—slay their wives and children, that the very breed may perish.” He was angry because of the invasion of the white settlers on Indian lands. Chief Big Warrior and most of the Creek Indians were not inspired by Tecumseh to go to war.…

been using unnecessary military force. On November 7, 1811, a united army of natives fought a militia group. The Natives were led by Tecumseh. Tecumseh's brother, known as the Prophet, made a village called Prophetstown, to unite all the Natives. After a meeting that didn't go the US’s way with prophets town, they stormed the village and burned it down. Tecumseh would defend other attacks from the US. His last was aided by the British in the Battle of Thames.…
