His brother, the spiritual leader of the tribe, during the battle in which the cavalry of General William Harrison, the future American president, massacred the Indians and summoned the "spirits of their ancestors" and with them decided to curse Harrison.
Explanation:
- Tecumseh was rallying Indians and seeking allies against whites in the American Southeast.
- In 1808 Tecumseh had 3000 warriors from various tribes. He headed south in 1811 to win over the Allies by hostile tribes from the Southeast.
- While Tecumseh was on his way as many as thousands of Native American warriors had gathered. Until his return, Tecumseh appointed them his brother. He was not only a cheater but also a drunkard. One morning, after a whole night of drunkenness and wild warrior dancing, thousands of Indians disorganized the camp of General William Harrison, who camped nearby, worried about such a large gathering of Native American forces.
- The Indians had penetrated the center of the camp and many soldiers and Indians had been killed in the battle. After gathering a little, the soldiers chased the disorganized Indians to flight and razed their camp to the ground.
- Tecumseh returned to the hearth of his camp. His dream of a great alliance fell through. Several hundred surviving warriors joined the Englishmen who had promised them help and weapons. Then he joined the English in the Anglo-American War (1812-1815) and died in a single battle in 1813.
