256. Indian Troubles ,1810
To this everlasting trouble with Great Britain and France were now added the horrors of an Indian war . It came about in this way . Settlers were pressing into Indiana Territory west of the new state of Ohio . Soon the lands which the United States had bought of the In - dians would be occupied . New lands must be bought . At this time there were two able Indian leaders in the Northwest . These were Tecumthe , or Tecumseh , and his brother , who was known as ＂ the Prophet .＂ These chiefs set on foot a great Indian confedera - tion . They said that no one Indian tribe should sell land to the United States without the consent of all the tribes of the Confederation .
