A Shattered Truce
Since the 1795 Treaty of Greenville, Native Americans and settlers had reached a tenuous peace.
But, the War of 1812 saw a
resurrection of old alliances.
This time the Native American
alliance would follow Shawnee
War Chief Tecumseh into
battle. Some tribes sent many
warriors, others a few: Shawnee,
Potawatomi, Kickapoo, Sac,
Winebago, Wyandot, Ottawa,
Ojibwa, Seneca and Delaware all
reportedly participated in the War.
