Battle of Tippecanoe

At the Battle of Tippecanoe (November 7, 1811) the forces of General William Henry Harrison attacked and defeated the forces of Tecumseh at Prophets Town on the Tippecanoe River in Indiana.

Modern revisionists claim that the troops under Harrison's command murdered numerous Native American civilians, and classify these actions as war crimes.

"Tippecanoe" was used as a nickname for William Henry Harrison, referenced by the campaign slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler too."
