Tecumseh created a Native American confederacy to stop white settlement in the Northwest Territory.

Explanation:

Many Native Americans, including Tecumseh confederate, took side with the British during the War of 1812 because they believed that there was a need to unite together to preserve their lands, religion and right. Tecumseh led his supporters against the United States in many conflicts. The Native American decided to side with the British during the war because as settlers moved to the Northwest Territories and they created farms on Indian ground. The hostile between the two groups started when settlers tried to lay claim on Native American land and ignored the treaties signed between Americans and Natives Americans.
