What destroyed the confederation tecumseh had built? Tecumseh’s death, Canadian losses in York, US control of lake Erie, or US victory at the battle of horseshoe Bend

1 answer

The main factor that destroyed the confederation Tecumseh had built was Tecumseh's death. Tecumseh was a respected leader and a key figure in uniting various Native American tribes under a common goal of resisting American expansion. However, he was killed during the Battle of the Thames in 1813. His death caused a significant blow to the confederation, dismantling the unity and leadership he had provided. Although other events, such as Canadian losses in York, US control of Lake Erie, and the US victory at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, had some impact on the confederation's decline, Tecumseh's death was the most significant factor.
