@thadea You gave him rank & authority. The error was yours. If we emptied your prisons of murders & rapists dressed them up as British & deployed them than we could hardly blame others for the results.

The British military was highly disciplined with the harshest punishments for misconduct you can't say the same of the American forces.

Those few times British elements behaved badly during the war were wildly exaggerated & those who behaved so were hung.

The Americans wanted war so war is what they got

@tinkandtory I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong, I looked it up & you are correct. They didn't take the time to hang them, the men were shot. Hanging was still done in the Royal Navy

In times of war, punishments became harsher and military justice grew more subjective as the need to send a message sometimes overrode the search for guilt or innocence. The commanding officer’s will sat as the invisible president of many court martials and his wishes swayed many decisions.

@Eddythebeast666 I'm sure they had time to stop and hang 1/5 of their army JACKASS. Don't pretend you know something you truly don't. Britain did not have enough money to even pay their troops but i'm sure the British troops remained patriotic when their lively hood is ruined by forced enlistment.

Then the candle tips lmao. But Americas commerce was getting fucked cause they couldnt trade with europe cause of the napoleon war so they wanted to end it.

@AlphaChurchBlue If you are interested Planetar17 & I have been having a long running debate upon what if any British aid may have been given to Natives hostile to the USA in the comments of the first clip of this documentary.

We do give reference to original source material & the debate is of better quality then most on Youtube.

@Eddythebeast666 Thanks I will be sure to check it out. :)

The british soldiers would not have suffered that much from the heat as india and africa have higher climates which saw many years of service of british soldiers!

@AlphaChurchBlue Youtube wont let me post a link but Google

the canadian encyclopedia /articles/tecumseh

Then scroll down to the links at the bottom which is the basic source material most historians use.

There is more of course but we are limited to online sources here at least.

If I may promote a relatives work. My name is Ed Richardson you might want to check out the work of John Richardson (4 October 1796 – 12 May 1852)

Its fiction & the prose is terrible but he was there & met Tecumseh.

[Eddythebeast666]

@AlphaChurchBlue Technology & culture were very important, particularly from a Native point of view. I'm part Mi'kmaq BTW.

Ignore the main article which is just rehash & go to the linked references at the bottom

the canadian encyclopedia /articles/tecumseh

Youtube wont let me post a link

By this period Natives were dependent upon European goods which you can see in dueling speeches of Tecumseh & Pushmataha as Tecumseh tried to add to his coalition. Natives were deeply divided by that dependency.

@Eddythebeast666 My main interest is honestly the technology and culture of the areas involved. Though I do like to understand the political situation at the time. I do also find Important figures and the strategy and tactics at the time rather interesting to. I like to get the best general view I can. If you could provide information about where I could get a better understand political situation at the time it would be very helpful.

Thanks

@AlphaChurchBlue Anyone willing to look up the original material & draw their own conclusions shouldn't worry too much about the mindless mob that believes what ever regurgitated mush historical hacks mass produce for TV.

The PBS one is the best one made to date. Still a bit of US bias but the quality is a fair trade.

So what reference interests you first?

I focus mainly on the politics not the battles. Trying to figure out the motives of the main characters that drive the events.
