Tecumseh: Shawnee Tribe

Tecumseh’s father was very important in his life because his father was killed at the Battle of Port Pleasant during the French and Indian War which sparked his mom, Methoataske, leaving her children. Not only depressed from  her husband's death, but frightened by the impending American Revolution, she left her children with Tecumseh’s elder married sister,Tecumpease, and elder brother Chicksika. They moved to the Sha*-wnee tribe, where Chicksika had taught Tecumseh to be a hunter and warrior. When Chicksika was killed in an unsuccessful attack in Tennessee Tecumseh continued raiding white settlements till he finally returned home in 1790.

When the War of 1812 began on June 18, the Shawnee decided to side and fight with the British in Canada (West). After Tecumseh preachings spread across the nation, the number of Shawnee followers increased dramatically, and Tecumseh’s support changed the balance of power during the war. His first goal was to stop the Europeans and get them to stay out of the lives of Native Americans permanently. Tecumseh believed this would only be possible if they formed an alliance with Great Britain. With the thought that the United States would only spread further west in the future, Tecumseh formed an alliance with Sir Isaac Brock, the general commanding the British Army during the war. They were both brave, aggressive and savvy, and became friends instantly. Tecumseh believed that the British would allow the Shawnee and other indian tribes to keep the land they had roamed for centuries, while the Americans would not allow them to have land or power. The death of Tecumseh in the War of 1812 was a major turning point in the United States and the War of 1812. While in Procter, Canada, Tecumseh and his Indian warriors were preparing for battle alongside the British forces. The battle took place in a marshy setting, the Americans were led by General William Henry Harrison. Tecumseh was shot through the heart and died on the battlefield at Thames. Before the start of the war, Tecumseh and the Shawnee dreamed of a Pan-Indian confederation that spread across the lands of North

He traveled throughout the Midwest urging tribes to form a political confederacy to prevent any further erosion of their lands. In November 1811, while Tecumseh was in the South attempting to recruit the Creeks into his confederacy, U.S. forces marched against Prophetstown. In the subsequent Battle of the Tippecanoe they defeated the Prophet, burned the settlement, and destroyed the Indians' food supplies. After returning from the South Tecumseh tried to rebuild his shattered confederacy. But when the War of 1812 broke out, he withdrew to Michigan where he assisted the British in the capture of Detroit and led pro-British Indians in small actions in southern Michigan and northern Ohio (Fort Meigs). When William Henry Harrison invaded Upper Canada, Tecumseh reluctantly accompanied the British retreat. He was killed by American forces at the Battle of the Thames on October 5, 1813. Although they never found the body of Tecumseh the Americans nor the british were sure of his death. Many believed that Colonel Richard M. Johnson had shot and killed Tecumseh with his pistol. Colonel Johnson was wounded and as he lied there an Indian came charging at him and all he could do was to fire at the Indian warrior and later soldiers went back to where he was wounded and drug off the battle field and found a mutilated Indian warrior. Even though Colonel Johnson never admitted he killed Tecumseh but took on the nick

Andrew Jackson was born on March 15, 1767, in the Waxhaw settlement, a community of Irish immigrants along the border between North and South Carolina. Though his birthplace is in dispute, he considered himself a South Carolina native. His father died several days before his birth and they then moved in with the Crawford's close family members. Jackson attended local schools and made many childhood friends.

Andrew Jackson was conceived on March 15, 1767, in the Waxhaws locale on the fringe of North and South Carolina. The definite area of his introduction to the world is dubious, and both states have asserted him as a local child; Jackson himself kept up he was from South Carolina. The child of Irish foreigners, Jackson got minimal formal educating. The British attacked the Carolinas in 1780-1781, and Jackson's mom and two siblings kicked the bucket amid the contention, abandoning him with a long lasting threatening vibe toward Great Britain.

Andrew Jackson was an American leader who was one of the most powerful and influential leaders of his century. He had an overall impact on society,and created one of the leading political parties today and was the 7th president of the United States. Jackson believed in a smaller federal government and many of his actions supported state governments and limited the federal governments power.

Tecumseh, chief and brave warrior of the Shawnee tribe, died fighting the Americans on October 5th, 1813 in the Battle of Thames. Tecumseh was born around the year 1768. He was born into a family with an older brother (Chiksika), an older sister (Tecumpease), and his parents, Methoataske and Puckeshinwa, soon gave birth to another boy (Lalawethika). Tecumseh assisted Chiksika and took part in many raids of Kentucky and Tennessee settlements, and soon, he was an evident Native American chief. Tecumseh and his brother led the base of the Prophetstown settlement. In the Battle of Tippecanoe, the Americans destroyed Prophetstown. Tecumseh fought against the Americans on the British side until he died fighting for his people in the Battle of Thames.

Tecumseh slowly transformed his brother's religious following into a political movement. In 1808 Tecumseh and the Prophet moved their village to the juncture of the Tippecanoe and Wabash rivers, where the new settlement, Prophetstown, continued to attract Indians. After the loss of much Indian land at the Treaty of Fort Wayne, Tecumseh gradually eclipsed his brother as the primary leader of the movement. He traveled throughout the Midwest urging tribes to form a political confederacy to prevent any further erosion of their lands. In November 1811, while Tecumseh was in the South attempting to recruit the Creeks into his confederacy, U.S. forces marched against Prophetstown. In the subsequent Battle of the Tippecanoe they defeated the Prophet, burned the settlement, and destroyed the Indians' food supplies.
