During the War of 1812, Native Americans played a significant role by aligning with either the British or American forces, largely seeking to protect their lands from encroachment by settlers. Many tribes, including the Shawnee led by Tecumseh, fought alongside the British, hoping to establish a confederation to resist American expansion. Conversely, some tribes sided with the United States, believing that supporting the Americans might secure their sovereignty. Ultimately, the war exacerbated tensions and led to further loss of land and autonomy for Native American nations.
