Tecumseh's War or Tecumseh's Rebellion was a conflict between the United States and Tecumseh's confederacy, led by the Shawnee leader Tecumseh in the Indiana Territory (future state of Indiana in the modern Midwestern United States). Although the war is often considered to have climaxed with General / Governor William Henry Harrison's (1773-1841), victory at the Battle of Tippecanoe in August - October 1813, Tecumseh's War essentially continued into the larger War of 1812 (1812-1815) and is frequently considered a part of that larger international struggle. The war lasted for two more years, until 1813, when Tecumseh and his second-in-command, Roundhead, died fighting General / Governor William Henry Harrison's Army of the Northwest of the United States Army, at the Battle of Moraviantown (a.k.a. Battle of the Thames) in October 1813, further north across the border in Upper Canada, of British North America, of the British Empire (near present-day Chatham-Kent, Ontario,(Canada) and his natives / Indian confederacy disintegrated. Tecumseh's War is viewed by some academic historians as the final conflict of a longer-term military struggle for control of the Great Lakes region of interior North America, encompassing a number of wars over several generations, occasionally referred to as the Sixty Years' War.
