The Battle of Tippecanoe was a military engagement fought on November 7, 1811, in what is now Indiana. The battle occurred as a result of tensions between the United States government and the Native American confederacy led by Tecumseh and his brother, The Prophet. The confederacy, which consisted of various Native American tribes, had been resisting American expansion into the region. A force of approximately 1,000 American militiamen, led by Governor William Henry Harrison of the Indiana Territory, marched on the Native American village of Prophetstown, near the Tippecanoe River. The Native American forces, numbering around 500-700 warriors, launched a surprise attack on the American camp, but were ultimately repelled. The battle resulted in significant casualties on both sides, with estimates suggesting that between 50 to 65 Americans were killed and around 150-200 Native Americans were killed or wounded. The Battle of Tippecanoe was a significant event in the lead-up to the War of 1812 and had important implications for the region and the relationships between the United States government and Native American tribes.
