Why did Tecumseh want an Indian confederation?

Tecumseh sought an Indian confederation to unite various Native American tribes in a collective resistance against the encroachment of European settlers on their lands. He believed that a united front would strengthen their bargaining power and help preserve their cultures and territories. By fostering solidarity among tribes, Tecumseh aimed to reclaim autonomy and protect their way of life from the relentless expansion of the United States. His vision was rooted in the idea that only through unity could they effectively confront colonial pressures.
