The Battle of the Thames was a pivotal American victory during the War of 1812.
On October 5, 1813, General William Henry Harrison, who also was the governor of the Indiana Territory and a future president of the United States of America, led an army of 3,500 American troops against a combined force of eight hundred British soldiers and five hundred American Indian warriors at Moraviantown, along the Thames River in Ontario, Canada. The British troops were under the command of Colonel Henry Procter. Tecumseh, a Shawnee chief, commanded many of the American Indian warriors. The British army was retreating from Fort Malden, Ontario after Oliver Hazard Perry's victory in the Battle of Lake Erie in September 1813. Tecumseh convinced Colonel Procter to make a stand at Moraviantown.
The American army won a total victory. As soon as the American troops advanced, the British soldiers fled or surrendered. The American Indians fought fiercely, but lost heart and scattered after Tecumseh died on the battlefield. The identity of the person who killed Tecumseh is still vigorously debated.
The Battle of the Thames was an important land battle of the War of 1812 in the American Northwest. Since the early 1800s, Tecumseh had sought to form a confederacy of American Indian tribes to stop Anglo-Americans from seizing American Indian land. Tecumseh's death marked the end of Tecumseh's Confederacy. Over the next three decades, Native Americans in the old Northwest were made to sign treaties, forsaking claims to the land in this region.

One effect of the Immigration Act of 1965 on Latin Americans was that it made it easier for them to enter the United States.
Explanation:
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 abolished the national quotas imposed by the National Origins Formula, in force in the United States since the Immigration Act of 1921. It was proposed by Rep. Emanuel Celler, of New York, co-sponsored by United States Senator Philip Hart of Michigan, and strongly supported by Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts.
An annual maximum limit of 300,000 visas was established for immigrants, including 170,000 for countries in the Eastern Hemisphere, with no more than 20,000 per country. In 1968, the annual limitation for the Western Hemisphere was set at 120,000 immigrants, with visas available depending on the order of arrival. However, the number of visas for family reunification was unlimited.
By equalizing immigration directives, the law gave rise to new immigration from extra-European nations, which has changed the ethnic composition of the United States. Immigration doubled between 1965 and 1970, and doubled again between 1970 and 1990. The most dramatic effect was that it redirected immigration from Europe to Asia and Latin America.
