Who was Tecumseh and what did he and his brother want to do?

Answer 1

Tecumseh was a Shawnee chief and a prominent Native American leader in the early 19th century who sought to unite various Indigenous tribes in resistance against the encroachment of European-American settlers on their lands. Alongside his brother, Tenskwatawa, known as the Prophet, they aimed to revitalize Indigenous culture and promote unity among tribes to confront the growing threat posed by U.S. expansion. Their efforts included the establishment of a confederation of tribes to protect their homelands and preserve their way of life.
