William Henry Harrison attacked and destroyed Prophets Town in Indiana because he saw it as a threat to American expansion and indigenous alliances. The town, led by the Shawnee leader Tenskwatawa (also known as the Prophet), attracted indigenous tribes and dispossessed Native Americans who were resisting American encroachment. Harrison believed that destroying Prophets Town would weaken Native American resistance in the region.
