10. This is a poem written by Chief Tecumseh that the Father sends to his son in the letter at the very end of the movie ACT OF VALOR
TECUMSEH’s POEM:

12. I curse you Harrison!! (and many future Presidents)
The fight begins…
Governor Harrison marched with an army of about 1,000 men to disperse the confederacy’s headquarters at Prophetstown, near the intersection of the Tippecanoe and Wabash Rivers
Tecumseh was away recruiting allies when Harrison's army arrived
Harrison camped near Prophetstown and arranged to meet with the Prophet the following day
Early the next morning, warriors from Prophetstown attacked Harrison's army
The Natives fled when their ammunition ran low. After the battle, they abandoned Prophetstown and Harrison's men burned the town and returned home
VICTORY !!
I curse you Harrison!! (and many future Presidents)

13. ~ many suspected Native Americans had been armed by the British!!

14. Effects of the battle…
Harrison proclaimed that he had won a decisive victory. He acquired the nickname "Tippecanoe", which was popularized in the song “Tippecanoe and Tyler too” during the election of 1840
The Natives soon rebuilt Prophetstown, and frontier violence increases after the battle
Public opinion in the United States blamed the violence on British interference. This suspicion led to further deterioration of US relations with Great Britain.
By the time the US declared war on Great Britain, Tecumseh's confederacy was ready to launch its war against the United States and embrace an alliance with the British.
