Question

Compare and contrast Native Resistance between the Cherokee and Tecumseh. Also, explain which strategies were most effective.

Answer 1

Both groups wanted Indian sovereignty and attempted to protect their native lands.

Tecumseh believed in tribal unity to fight against invading American settlers. He worked to bring tribes together and used warfare to resist Americans.
The Cherokee attempted to resist Americans through the legal system fighting treaties and removal. 

Thought uniting the tribes was a good idea in theory, the tribes were out manned and did not have the technology needed to win. I would argue the Cherokee had a better method. Though they were still removed from their land, they lived to see another day and did win their legal cases.
