Throughout the entire Western Hemisphere, Native tribes were treated badly by all of the European colonists. In the US, treaties with Native Americans were broken by the federal government. The final solution was to place almost all of the Natives on reservations. Their lands were taken by the Americans. This happened in every part of the Hemisphere.
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.

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."

He was an ardent believer in westward expansion, favored the annexation of Texas, but was opposed to war as a matter of principal. Benton was a man of constant contradiction, he was a slave owner who opposed slavery, a pro union southerner and a strong backer of the Oregon Territory who stood in opposition to the 54 forty or fight faction.
