How did Native Americans respond to U.S. western expansion?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Indians continued to resist the federal government after the 1790s. Two Shawnee brothers, Tenswatawa and Tecumseh, formed a confederacy of allied tribes in the early 1800s. They launched a pan-Indian resistance movement that culminated in defeat at the Battle of the Thames in 1811. The Creeks also resisted and were crushed finally at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814 in Alabama. As General Jackson obtained title to thousands of prime cotton lands, Indian resistance was shattered both north and south, facilitating white settler and black slave migration into the southern portion of North America.
