What did tecumseh compare selling land to why
The short answer... The White man was selling off the Indian territories. There were some tribes that were selling their land to the White armies and not all the Native Americans agreed it was theirs to give. The land didnt belong to one tribe or another, and you can't sell land that isn't yours. This was going on for awhile and Tecumseh along with other Indians decided that it was time to fight for the land that was rightfully theirs. So he banded together other Indian nations to unite against the Westward expansion which was pushing the Indians out of their land.

Tecumseh was a Shawnee tribe leader, that sided with the British , and battled against the Americans that were trying to invade Tecumseh's land. He battled along side general Isaac Brock with Tecumseh's army of 2000 men. Tecumseh's army was the largest aboriginal army the great lakes had ever seen. While the British panicked and retreated in the battle of Thames river, Tecumseh and his followers battled on furiously even though they were hopelessly out numbered. Tecumseh died on the battle field in the battle of Thames river with many of his men on October 5th 1813.
