In 1803 William Henry Harrison was a special commissioner in charge of negotiating with the Native Americans on the issue of boundary of lands. He negotiated treaties that robbed Native Americans of millions of acres of land. Objecting to the treaties that permitted the whites to encroach on more Indian lands, a Shawnee intertribal leader named Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa, also known as The Prophet, organized an Indian uprising. Harrison commanded a force that defeated the Indians at the Battle of Tippecanoe.
When you recite the Pledge of Allegiance, you promise to uphold American ideals and values which include liberty, justice and equal rights for all. With freedom comes responsibility, therefore, you are also acknowledging your duty to respect other people's freedom. At the same time, you are submitting to justice both for you and for other. Finally, equal rights for all includes your rights before the law and also recognizing other people's rights. An example of this in your everyday life would be freedom of religion, one is free to exercise whichever religion one likes. As a citizen of the United States one has that right, but so do all other citizens, that is having equal rights. If one commits a crime even for religious reasons, there will be justice.
