The area near West Lafayette, Indiana, was involved in various conflicts during the early 19th century as settlers encroached on Native American lands. One notable event was the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, where Governor William Henry Harrison's forces clashed with Native American warriors led by Tecumseh and his brother, Tenskwatawa, near present-day Lafayette. This battle was part of a larger struggle between Native Americans and settlers over land and sovereignty. It marked a significant moment in the wider context of U.S. expansion and Native American resistance.

The Warhawks wanted war against Great Britain because England was providing arms and ammunition to the Indian tribes to fight against the United States.
