Answer 3

The confederation Tecumseh had built was destroyed primarily by U.S. control of Lake Erie. This control significantly weakened the Native American resistance and disrupted Tecumseh's alliance with various tribes by limiting their ability to coordinate and receive support. Tecumseh's death also played a crucial role in the ultimate dissolution of his confederation, but the immediate impact of U.S. military actions, particularly regarding control of strategic waterways, was a key factor.
