Tecumseh, a young Shawnee chief from the Ohio Valley, envisioned a vast Native American confederacy strong enough to prevent further westward expansion by the American settlers and their government. As he witnessed more and more tribes being wiped out, he asked , "Will we let ourselves be destroyed in our turn without a struggle, to give up our homes, our country bequeathed to us by the Great Spirit, the graves of our dead and everything that is dear and sacred to us? I know you will cry with me, "Never! Never!"

During the War of 1812, General Andrew Jackson was confronted by a stubborn Creek Nation in Georgia and Alabama. The Creek were worried about American expansion into their lands and had sided with the British in 1812. Jackson enlisted the help of the Cherokee to attack and defeat the Creek.

They built roads, schools and churches, had a system of representational government and were becoming successful farmers and ranchers

Why did Andre Jackson align himself with the Cherokee?

Andrew Jackson was elected president in 1829. He believed that more people more white men, not Native American's African Americans or women - should have the right to vote. His attempts to include more lower and middle class Americans in the political process is known as Jacksonian Democracy. Jackson reformed voting rules in the Western states by doing away with the requirement that you had to be a property owner to vote, though this requirement remained in place in Eastern states. Jackson's changes resulted in increased voters turnout, a new frontier voice in American politics and a renamed political party (the Democrats) Jackson also brought new powers to the presidency. He used his veto power at will to shape national politics as he saw fit, which set certain precedents for powerful presidents to come. Jackson had many nicknames - the press called him "King Mob" and many Native "Americans called him "Sharp Knife."
