The "British" forces at Bennington were largely German mercenaries, plus Canadians, Loyalists and Native American Indians. When the fighting started the Loyalists and Indians ran away. 207 of the ones who stood their ground were killed but very few would have been British nationals.
The Republican presidential candidate who ran against James Buchanan in the 1856 election and stood against the spread of slavery was John C. Frémont. As the first presidential candidate of the Republican Party, he advocated for preventing the expansion of slavery into the territories of the United States. Frémont's campaign emphasized free soil and popular sovereignty, appealing to those opposed to the spread of slavery.
The era of Jacksonian democracy, which spanned the 1820s to the 1840s, stood for the expansion of democratic ideals and a focus on the common man. It emphasized greater political participation for white male citizens, promoting universal male suffrage and challenging entrenched elites. This period also marked a shift toward populism, with President Andrew Jackson advocating for the rights of the "ordinary" American against what he viewed as a corrupt aristocracy. However, it also coincided with the entrenchment of slavery and the displacement of Native Americans, highlighting the era's contradictions.

Tecumseh was a very significant Native American who gave his life for what he believed. He knew that the Americans were a tremendous threat to all Indian tribes, and realized that the Indians would be destroyed one by one if not united. Tecumseh created a confederation of thirty-two tribes in hopes that the Americans would recognize their borders and thus put a halt to westward expansion. His confederation may have succeeded if it were not for the mistakes made by his brother, Laulewasika, the Americans violent actions towards the Indian tribes, and the unwillingness of the different tribes to cooperate. Tecumseh was born in March of 1768. His real name was Tecumtha, which meant "panther lying in wait," but to the white men he was called Tecumseh which stood for "shooting star."

The Iroquois Indians helped the French capture many British forts during the war. They also helped ambush British forces. The British may have had help from Indians also, but I'm not sure.

"Obviously since Manifest Destiny was the belief that the USA had the right to control the Americas from Alaska to the Straights of Magellan at the end of South America, the USA did it best to expand where ever it could. It bought the Louisiana Purchase from France. It purchased Florida from Spain. It sized land from Mexico in the Mexican American War. It purchased Alaska from Russia. It invaded and tried to grab Canada on several occasions, and was defeated every time. Native Americans who stood in the way of USA expansion were massacred and the survivors forced onto reservations."
