  tecumseh's war or tecumseh's rebellion was a conflict in the old northwest between the united states and an american indian confederacy led by the shawnee leader tecumseh. although the war is often considered to have climaxed with william henry harrison's victory at the battle of tippecanoe in 1811, tecumseh's war essentially continued into the war of 1812 and is frequently considered a part of that larger struggle. the war lasted for two more years before tecumseh was killed by americans at the battle of the thames in canada in 1813 and his confederacy disintegrated. the tribes remaining in the newly expanded u.s. signed treaties and were forced to sell their lands and moved west by the 1830s (in the wake of the indian removal act). in long-term context, historians place tecumseh's war as the final conflict of the sixty years' war resulting in the european conquest of the great lakes region.
