Brock, was killed at Queenston Heights, cooperated with Tecumseh, althought they only met a few times I believe. I agree theat he went a long way toward establishing the begininnigs of a confederacy, however his brother was the "public face" to the Native Americans more than he was, however he was definately the power behind the movement. It would have been interesting to see what happened to US_Native American relations if he had lived, curious how he and Andrew Jackson would have dealt with each other. Gen.

If the British general who was friendly to him hadn't so inconveniently died, he could have created a Native Confederacy that would have spanned most of the West. Canada and the US wouldn't have made it east of Indiana, Ohio, or Ontario. Tecumseh, of the Shawnee.
