Tecumseh brought together many American Indian tribes to unite them against one cause. He thought that if he could unite a large group of American Indian tribes, he would be able to fight the white settlers off his land.

Hope this helps :)

As an early Shawnee chief, Tecumseh wanted many American Indian tribes to unite and fight the white settlers who were illegally settling on Shawnee and other nations. He started his campaign to persuade Old Northwest and Deep South Indians to come together and resist white settlers in their territory in 1809 and by 1810 he had managed to organize the Ohio Valley Confederacy, which united Indians from various nations including Shawnee, Kickapoo, Menominee, Potawatomi, Ottawa, Wyandot and Winnebago against white settlers.
