Prophetstown was attacked by General William Henry Harrison during the Battle of Tippecanoe in November 1811. This battle was part of the larger conflict between Native American tribes, led by Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa (the Prophet), and American settlers encroaching on their lands. The attack aimed to suppress the growing Native American confederation that was resisting U.S. expansion into the Northwest Territory.
