28March2021: Thank you for your comment. I commend you. If you have time and money you should travel to Vigo county, Indiana where Tecumseh is prominently featured in one of four incredible historical murals painted by the great Bill Wolfe, who also has sculpted Little Turtle. While in Vigo, only about 30 minutes south in Sullivan county there are two mounds (a small state park) very near a "narrow" of the Wabash River. The narrow is fully open to the public and a protected site of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. It is highly UNLIKELY that TECUMSEH DID NOT REPEATEDLY PASS THROUGH THIS NARROW and/or CAMP THERE. Tecumseh and all Shawnee that died feel better when we travel to such places to remember and try to commune with them. Also learn "The Turtle Creation Story". ! ! !

Even the Canadians are very quiet about that actually Frenchj-Canadians, Métis and Natives saved Canada from an US invasion and the biggest US defeat was in Québec City were 800 US troops under Benedict Arnold were beaten by 77 Native and French Canadian warriors. Benedict Arnold fled leaving 400 dead and wounded behind, this was the only important battle since without Québec-City in British hand Canada would have fallend. The Manitoba Métis under Louis Riel kept Americans out of Western Canada. There were also several Swiss mercenary generals with their Swiss regiments involved in defending Canada such as Regiment de Meuron and Regiment de Watteville, also this aren't to be found in Canadian or US history books. Giving Natives and French-Canadians/Métis credit for defending Canada would have lessened the brutal treatment of Métis, Natives and French Canadians which follwed once Canada was secured...the British spoke with 2 tonques...and never respected their given words...to French-Canadians, Natives and Métis nations.

The Shawnee also participated in the trade and ownership of black slaves. My ancestor Mushulatubbee, was there as the chief of the Okla Tenap, (Choctaw) when Tecumseh met with Pushmataha.

And what they got, were the scraps from the priests and nuns looking after them, if they were lucky. It was called gruel, and I knew of it growing up. Obviously it wasn’t the same, but the idea was it was basically oats with whatever leftovers were around.

Tecumseh, who fought to preserve unity and his people against an aggressor who was destroying everything they knew and was against the killing of non-combatants, versus Hitler who fought wars of aggression to destroy the Jewish, Romani, and Slavic peoples of Europe and settle his own colonial empire?

Some of the best reading I’ve done in my life has been on Tecumseh! Check out this book: A Sorrow in Our Heart: The Life of Tecumseh

[@shanedorries5829]

Thanks for sharing the book title

[@Eadbhard]

A most excellent book. The author, Alan Eckert, also wrote a book called "The Frontiersmen". This was one of his first books, as well as one of his most popular books. Indeed, the "Frontiersmen" is in a class by itself, and Tecumseh is one of the main characters in that narrative. Many years after Eckert published "The Frontiersmen", he write a similar book called "A Sorrow in Our Heart," but in this one Tecumseh is the main character; in fact, "A Sorrow in Our Heart" is, for all intents and purposes, an excellent biography of Tecumseh. What is especially good about "A Sorrow..." is how Eckert corrects some of the previous historical errors he made about Tecumseh in "The Frontiersmen". I had the privilege of meeting Allen Eckert in Bellefontaine, Ohio, just after "A Sorrow in Our Heart" was published. He signed my copy.

[@pavelthefabulous5675]

There is something so interesting about this darker side of US history, but I say this as a patriot and not an America-hater. In spite of not being a respected military power and even losing our capital to the British, history favored us anyway. Sometimes the heroes and the victors fight on two different sides, and I think it is important to recognize where our victory spoils came from and give the heroes their respect. I hate the idea that Americans have to be ashamed of our history, but it is also a great mistake to ignore it or pretend that we didn't form a massive continental empire on lands that were already occupied. As weird as it sounds, this channel called "EmpLemon" has amazing videos that explain the American soul really well without shying away from the underbelly of US history or reducing it to nihilism.

[@HaloFTW55]

@@AeneasGemini Not really, everyone was fair game at all time, the British used light infantry and skirmishers before the US were independent. Said light infantry and skirmishers target officers and harassed the enemies as usual, the idea that gentlemanly warfare being rudely interrupted by the Kentucky rifle is an old revisionist tale passed from generation to generation. Warfare is always horrible and dirty and it will be eternally so. Being flashy just meant that the officers will lead from the front to show their men that their leader will fight with them, boosts morale you see. To let your men know you're there with them, you need to look flashy and stand out from the rank and file. Again, this has been a thing since the ancient Greeks and is nothing new.
