What was an effect of the battle tippaconoe?

Effects of the Battle of Tippecanoe:

Victory for the United States: The Battle of Tippecanoe resulted in a decisive victory for the United States and a significant defeat for the Native American confederation led by Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa (the Prophet).

Decline of Tecumseh's Confederacy: The defeat at Tippecanoe greatly diminished the influence and power of Tecumseh's confederacy. Many Native American tribes that had joined Tecumseh's alliance became disillusioned and withdrew their support.

Strengthening of American Control: The American victory strengthened the United States' control over the Northwest Territory and paved the way for further expansion and settlement in the region.

Heightened Tensions with Britain: The battle contributed to heightened tensions between the United States and Great Britain, which was supporting the Native American tribes in the region and providing them with weapons and supplies.

Presidential Election of 1840: The Battle of Tippecanoe gained national attention and became a significant factor in the 1840 presidential election. William Henry Harrison, who had led the American forces at Tippecanoe, successfully campaigned on his military record and was elected as the ninth President of the United States.

Shift in Native American Strategies: Following their defeat at Tippecanoe, many Native American tribes adopted a strategy of guerrilla warfare and resistance to American expansion rather than engaging in large-scale battles.
