Harrison believed that the sight of swarms of hunting shirt men, representing a well-organized and determined militia, would intimidate Tecumseh and the Prophet by showcasing American resolve and military strength. The hunting shirts symbolized frontier toughness and unity, potentially undermining the morale and confidence of Tecumseh’s confederation. Harrison aimed to project an image of overwhelming force, hoping to deter opposition and assert American dominance in the region. Ultimately, he sought to demonstrate that the American forces were prepared to confront and defeat their adversaries decisively.
