Tecumseh was a Native American chief who was angry because the Americans used trading posts to put his tribe and many others into debt, thus forcing them to sell their land to the Americans.

When the War of 1812 broke out there were two sides: the Americans, who had practically no allies, and the British who were allied with Canada and Spain. Tecumseh did something that no other Native American had ever done before: he united all of the tribes and allied with Britain in an attempt to reclaim their land.
