In 1811 Tenskwatawa went to battle against an American force at Tippecanoe Creek. Tenskwatawa was defeated along with his army. Soon after Tenskwatawa was discarded and people turned to the New Shawnee Cheif Tecumseh. Duering the war of 1812 Tecumseh led an army in alliance with the British against an American force in the battle of Thames. There Tecumseh was killed(1813) along with the British. Soon after Tecumseh was killed the surviving indians withdrew from the alliance with their former allies the British.
