The confederation that Tecumseh built was primarily destroyed by U.S. control of Lake Erie. This control significantly weakened the British forces and their Native American allies in the region. Tecumseh's confederation relied heavily on British support to sustain their resistance against American expansion. After the U.S. victory at the Battle of Lake Erie in 1813, the British and their Native American allies, including Tecumseh, lost significant operational capability, leading to the eventual defeat and disbanding of the confederation. Tecumseh's death later in the War of 1812 further diminished the coalition he had worked to establish, but it was the loss of control of Lake Erie that was the key factor in the dissolution of his confederation.
