Hello. According to my name-tag, I am a live action news reporter. So now you think that I will tell you about all the current events in the news. Wrong! I have actually travelled back in time using a time machine that my wacky boss created. Time travel is not a pleasant. experience; I am still suffering from an upset stomach. And there is no Pepto Bismal here!!! As soon as I get back to 2012, I am going to find myself a new employer. Anyways, while I'm here I decided to write a little news story. So I am going to tell you about some causes of the war of 1812, this guy named Tecumseh, and First Nations Alliances. You all know about the American revolution, right? Okay perfect.
Right after the American Revolution, the people in Britain encouraged the First Nations in the west to keep a large expanse of space for their own personal use. Therefore, the Americans could not expand.
Now we get into a fun game of accusations.
1:American's accused the British of encouraging the First Nations to be hostile toward them.
The American's believed that the British supported Tecumseh, an influential first nations leader, and his efforts to to protect the First Nations Land.
Tecumseh opposed the movement of Settlers onto the First Nations land, and to stop further settlements, he created an alliance of First Nations. The wise advice he shared with his alliances was to not sell any more land to the Americans.
And that is all I have for you today. Next time I will have lots of interesting information on War Hawks.
