Question

What was one reason Tecumseh wanted to from a confederation

Answer 1

One reason Tecumseh aimed to form a confederation of Native American tribes was to resist the encroachment of European-American settlers on their lands. He believed that a united front among various tribes would be necessary to effectively defend their territories and way of life against the increasing pressures of colonization and the loss of land. By uniting, Tecumseh hoped to strengthen their political and military power to negotiate more effectively with the U.S. government and to preserve their sovereignty and cultural identity.
