Question

What was the result of the battle of tippecanoe?

Answer 1

Answer:

D) The Native American movement lost some of its power.

Explanation:

The Native American movement lost some of its power. The victory gained by Henry Harrison broke Tecumseh’s power, ending the threat from the side of Indian confederation, although did not become the end of Indian resistance to U.S. expansion into the Ohio Valley.

Having achieved his goal - the expulsion of the Indians from Prophetstown - Harrison declared a decisive victory. But some contemporaries of Harrison, as well as some subsequent historians, expressed doubts about this outcome of the battle. The historian Alfred Cave noted that in none of the modern reports from Native American agents, traders and government officials about the consequences of Tippecanoe one can find confirmation that Harrison won a decisive victory. The defeat was a failure for the Tecumseh Confederation, but the Indians soon restored Prophetstown, and, in fact, border violence increased after the battle.
