- Alongside religious leader Prophet, Tecumseh led a provoking campaign to unite all the chiefs and tribes of the East Mississippi.
- We will join our brothers in war!

- As Techumseh and his brother gained rapid influence, white settlers in the Territory acknowledged the threat that the Shawnee posed.
- We must take action first! The troops are already stationed at Prophetstown!

- 1811
- The settlers' findings found their way to the Governor of the Indiana Territory, General William Harrison. Intense quarrels about the course of action followed, with Harrison himself volunteering to lead the forces to battle.
- Governor, give me time. I shall negotiate and end this!
- Quiet down, you fools! I shall command the troops!
- There is no time! We must fight NOW!
- 1811
- Harrison's troops advanced alongside the Tippecanoe River until they reached the Shawnee headquarters in Prophetstown.

- What now, brother? We have nothing left.

- We have the British! I swear to you, this is not the last of me!
- After more than two long hours of close combat in utter darkness, Harrison's men were able to break free of the Natives' forces. They then proceeded to destroy all the Natives' hopes for a Confederacy.
