Tecumseh had a large confederation of tribes that he was working on all through the Mississippi valley to unite and fight against the whites. His brother, known as the Prophet, went against Tecumseh’s plans when Tecumseh was in the South trying to get more support, and engaged William Henry Harrison and got beaten badly at the Battle of Tippecanoe in November of 1811. This lost Tecumseh a lot of support among the other tribes and he was forced to side with the British during the War of 1812. He ended up being killed near Toronto and Harrison won the Presidency by virtue of the victory on the slogan “Tippecanoe and Tyler too”.
