Tecumseh's reputation among Us citizens has been both the most unique and anomalous. As the leader of the Shawnee, Tecumseh was the most well-known Native American of the first 19th hundred years, and he attemptedto peacefully set up a Native American land east of the Mississippi River in the wake of the American Revolution. While Native Us citizens, especially in the "old Northwest" (present-day land western world of the Appalachian Mountains and east of the Mississippi River), understood and known their own long-established territories and the ones of other tribes, these boundaries and territories were overlooked and unappreciated by the incoming settlers. Regarding his brother, Tenskwatawa, Tecumseh was in the process of developing a wide-ranging Local American confederacy that they hoped would stem the westward circulation of Anglo-American settlers and essentially set up a "nation" of Native Americans that would be known and accepted by the evolving European-American settlers. Throughout his life, Tecumseh acquired experienced the consequences of encroachment by white settlers as his family and his individuals were forced off their ancestral homelands and wandered westward many times, finally settling in Missouri. As settlers extended to encroach further western world, however, Tecumseh stood firm and prepared to struggle them. Before America fought Britain in the Warfare of 1812, they were engaged in Tecumseh's Warfare around the Great Lakes. The fighting made the Indian leader famous and made a military services hero (and eventually a leader) out of William Henry Harrison, whose triumph at Tippecanoe is considered the end of that war. Undeterred, Tecumseh allied with the English during the Warfare of 1812 against the Us citizens, and he extended to struggle on until he was wiped out at the Struggle of the Thames. Without their leader, Tecumseh's Confederacy started out to disintegrate quickly. Despite being one of their most tenacious competitors, Tecumseh almost immediately became a famous folk hero and well known leader in American record, all while continuing to be one of the very most poignant icons of level of resistance among Native Us citizens. The pan-Indian icon continues to be a household name across the United States today, almost 200 years after his death. American Legends: THE LIFE SPAN of Tecumseh chronicles the amazing life of the Local American leader, examines his control of the Shawnee Confederacy, and analyzes his long lasting legacy.
