Abstract

The Shawnee leader Tecumseh rose to prominence fighting against renewed American westward expansion after the Revolutionary War. In the face of American incursions, the Shawnee were forced to yield much of present-day Ohio in the Treaty of Greenville of 1795 and then southern Indiana in the Treaty of Fort Wayne of 1809. Until the War of 1812, Tecumseh traveled extensively, speaking out against the United States and trying to gather a united Indian resistance to American expansion.
