Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa were two brothers that were born before the War of 1812.

Tenskwatawa was a prophet that encouraged a return to tradition and to reject European values. Put in simpler terms, he thought the best strategy for the Native American man was to return to living the way they had for hundreds of years, and not becoming part of the European culture by simply keeping their own lands and leaving the white men alone and not getting involved. He was the peaceful brother of the two. He was the one who started Prophetstown.

Tecumseh was Tenskwatawa's brother, he was more warlike than his brother. Both of the brothers met with Harrison to protest the Treaty of Fort Wayne (in Indiana). They formed a military alliance with other tribes and recruited British support. This is what started the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811 and the War of 1812 to halt American expansion.
