| In the Battle of Tippecanoe, November 7, 1811, William Henry Harrison led American troops against Shawnee warriors. Fought near the Wabash River, the battle ended in Native American defeat, thwarting Shawnee leader Tecumseh’s plans for a united federation of Native American groups. President James Madison was able to use the battle to rally support for American troops in anticipation of war with Britain. | ||||||
