David Edmunds‚ author of the article “Tecumseh‚ The Shawnee Prophet‚ and American History: A Reassessment‚” published in Vol. 14 (pages 261-276)‚ No. 3 by The Western Historical Quarterly in 1983‚ argues that Americans have idolized Tecumseh‚ a Shawnee Indian‚ to an extent where some of “his biographies have presented an Indian of superhuman qualities” (Edmunds 261).

In his dying breaths‚ his father commanded his eldest son Cheesuaka‚ to train Tecumseh as a warrior and to never make peace with the whites.

Trump’s speech was approximately sixteen to seventeen minutes. One last weakness that is his largest fault‚ in my opinion‚ is how he spoke about “eradicating”

In the article of “Andrew Jackson versus the Cherokee‚” Andrew Jackson wasn’t love by the Indians at all; in fact he hated the Indians because the Indians are getting support and protected by the Supreme Court.

I think that Tecumseh stressed over and over that they needed to destroy the white people because that was the only way to stop the evil. For example in his speech‚ he states‚ “ We‚ ourselves‚ are threatened with a great evil; nothing will pacify them but the destruction of all the red men". In addition‚ according to his
