Rivalries between Native American nations

The address of the Tecumseh Area Historical Society is: Po Box 26, Tecumseh, MI 49286

Tecumseh was one of the Indian leaders in the war of 1812. He believed that the settlers had no right in claiming land; that it was land for all of the tribes to share. He ended up dying in Canada after going into a treaty with Britain.

Tecumseh's role was to rally tribes and convince them to ally with the British against the US.

The significance is in the war of 1812. America proved itself an independent nation, able to defend itself.

General William T. Sherman (1820-1891) was a Civil War general. He was born February 8, 1820 and died at age 71. The year 2015 marked the 195th anniversary of his birth.

By building a confederacy

He was born March 9,1768 in Clark County, Ohio

In the late 1700s and early 1800s, the great Native leader, Tecumseh (1768-1813), reacted to White encroachments upon Native lands in a visionary way. He sought to gather once-hostile (and other) tribes into a single band that would, with British help and otherwise, found an independent nation centered in what would later become the American state of Indiana. His vision and his life both ended in 1813, when he died in battle against American forces during the British-American War of 1812.

Because the Americans once again defeated the British. Under command of General Harrison, the Americans fought against the British and defeating them, also killing Tecumseh. Because we won this battle, we decreased the threat Britain put on the Americans in the Northwest.

"Sir, you have liberty to return to your own country."

that Indians were the top of the food chain and the only way to stay there is to eat the others so they became canables

He didn't want to give up his land.

No one knows because it is kept a secret from outsiders and only a group of people from hes tribe know (it being past down down generation to generation)

General Sherman's march was directed toward the coastal port city of Savannah, Georgia, in November-December of 1864. Sherman called the capture of the port a "Christmas gift" for President Abraham Lincoln.

IT ALL DEPEND ON THAT LAST word

Tecumseh was raised to resist the white invaders. He excelled as a warrior and refused to attend a treaty conference, causing a break from the shawnee tribe. He and his militant followers - many who were not shawnee - moved to western ohio. In the next decade he not only became a great leader but was known by everyone, including the whites, for his eloquence and intelligence. Before his death, he urged tribes to band together, unified, to fight the greater enemy, the white invaders.

He got killed during the Battle of the Thames. Tecumseh got very angry at dinosaurs for taking their land so he had no other choice but to go into battle with his magical sword. And then the evil unicorns came and took over the land, and speared Tecumseh through the heart. Then they watched him die on the horn of another. THE END

When Tecumseh says Where today is the Pequot Where the Narragansetts the Mohawks he is indicating what happens to tribes that don't unite against the whites,

The crossing of Georgia, making punitive raids on civilians, destroying the farms, helping to starve the Confederate armies, altogether devastating Southern morale.

Tecumseh earned the respect of both Native Americans and white leaders for his leadership, forward thinking and bravery. He was considered to have been a great orator, hero and military commander. He is celebrated as a national hero in Canada for successfully thwarting a United States takeover of Canada during the War of 1812.

Tecumseh

Tecumseh wanted the Indian nations to unite because the "white people" was selling off the Indian territories, and if they united, they would have the same power as the white people, and they wouldn't be able to conquer them.

The short answer...

The White man was selling off the Indian territories. There were some tribes that were selling their land to the White armies and not all the Native Americans agreed it was theirs to give. The land didnt belong to one tribe or another, and you can't sell land that isn't yours. This was going on for awhile and Tecumseh along with other Indians decided that it was time to fight for the land that was rightfully theirs. So he banded together other Indian nations to unite against the Westward expansion which was pushing the Indians out of their land.

The orders of Union General Sherman in his "march to the sea" entailed the following:

A. In Sherman's march to the sea he ordered his troops to employ a "scorched earth" policy;

B. His orders entailed to burn all crops, kill all livestock, consume all supplies;

C. To do their best in destroying all civilian infrastructure along their path;

D. He ordered his troops to live off the land;

There are additional facts concerning this question:

1. Sherman issued detailed instructions to his troops;

2. Sherman ordered that his soldiers were forbidden to enter civilian dwellings;

3. He instructed his troops to take whatever grains & foodstuffs needed to sustain themselves; and

4. His goal was to keep at least 10 days worth of provisions and to allow for 3 days to have his troops replenish their supplies;

Tecumseh was a Shawnee tribe leader, that sided with the British , and battled against the Americans that were trying to invade Tecumseh's land. He battled along side general Isaac Brock with Tecumseh's army of 2000 men. Tecumseh's army was the largest aboriginal army the great lakes had ever seen. While the British panicked and retreated in the battle of Thames river, Tecumseh and his followers battled on furiously even though they were hopelessly out numbered. Tecumseh died on the battle field in the battle of Thames river with many of his men on October 5th 1813.
