Red+Stick+Confederacy

=Red Stick Confederacy=

toc The leader or founder of the Red Stick Confederacy was Tecumseh. The name Red Stick comes from the Creek Indains. This confederacy was a big problem for America because they didn't give the Indains the land that they wanted, so America was being attacked from the seas and from the north.

The Early Days of the Confederacy
Tecumseh created the confederacy to get back the land that was "stolen" from him and his people. He sent his men to spread the word about his confederacy to the tribes east of the Mississippi River. They would all meet around the great lakes and discuss what they were about to do.

Gathering the Confederacy
Tecumseh wanted to recruit the tribes east of the Mississippi. So he sent some men out to major tribes and he didn't get much from Tennessee. He was able to convince fmost of the Creek Indains that were in Alabama and Georgia.

The First Attacks
The first attacks by the Indains against the U.S. where the white neutral settlers. In 1813 they organized to attack Fort Mims and won. However, Jackson attacked some of the tirbes loyal to the confederacy and 800 died.

The End of the Confederacy
There wasn't really an end of the confederacy. The main reason the confederacy fell apart was that after Tecumseh died, it had no leader. I would say if there was an ending it would be after the war or when tecumseh died. = =

Conclusion
I think that the confederacy was a good idea by Tecumseh. He got most of the tribes together, and no one had done that before. I think that if the Indains were better equiped with weapons, then they could have forced the Americans to give the land back. = =
