Creek War
The United States had a problem with Great Britain during the War of 1812. The primary causes of the conflict were British violations of American maritime rights, impressment of American sailors, and support for Native American resistance against American expansion.
Most Native Americans sided with the British in the War of 1812. American settlers were encroaching on their land, and Native Americans had already been in conflict with them before the war. The British also made efforts in the peace treaty to preserve the rights of the Native Americans, however these were mostly ignored.

Tecumseh
During the War of 1812, many Native American tribes lost significant portions of their lands due to the conflict. The war weakened Native American resistance against American expansion, leading to increased encroachment by settlers on their territories. Tribes such as the Shawnee and Creek faced substantial territorial losses as a result of the war and subsequent treaties. This loss was compounded by the U.S. government's policies aimed at westward expansion, further diminishing Native land rights.
The Battle of Tippecanoe, fought in November 1811 between American forces led by Governor William Henry Harrison and Native American warriors associated with Tecumseh, marked the beginning of increased hostilities between Native American tribes and American settlers. It signaled the rise of Native American resistance against U.S. expansion into their territories. The battle also set the stage for the War of 1812, as it heightened tensions and drew the U.S. into deeper conflict with Britain, who was perceived to be supporting the Native American resistance.
