The Shawnee Leader Who Almost Built A Native American Nation — And Why His Plan Was The Last Real Chance
Not all nations were persuaded.
The Cherokee, the Choctaw, and the Chickasaw rebuffed him — they had their own complex histories with the United States and their own calculations about the best path forward that led them toward accommodation rather than confederation.
The Creek were more receptive; a faction of the Creek called the Red Sticks would eventually launch the Creek War of 1813-1814, partly as a result of Tecumseh’s influence.
Among the Great Lakes nations — the Potawatomi, the Ojibwe, the Ottawa, the Wyandot, the Kickapoo, the Winnebago, many others — the response was substantially more positive.
