Detailed explanation-1: -The defeat at Tippecanoe prompted Tecumseh to ally his remaining forces with Great Britain during the War of 1812, where they would play an integral role in the British military success in the Great Lakes region in the coming years.
Detailed explanation-2: -Significance: The Battle of Tippecanoe destroyed the hopes of a large Indian Confederacy. When the American soldiers saw that the Indians had British weapons, they knew the British were helping them resist the Americans. This caused even more hatred towards the British than there had been before.
Detailed explanation-3: -With the conflict essentially ending in a draw, the Americans and British agreed to return to the prewar status quo. In doing so, the British abandoned their Native allies. Without financial and military backing, Indigenous resisters became far less successful in defending their homelands.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tecumseh remained an active threat until 1813 when he fell fighting against Harrison’s army at the Battle of the Thames. On the larger stage, the Battle of Tippecanoe further fueled the tensions between Britain and the United States as many Americans blamed the British for inciting the tribes to violence.
