1. How does Tecumseh (Shawnee) want to solve the problem of American encroachment
and Indian land cessions? Compare Tecumsehs views with those of Alexander
McGillivray (Creek). How are they similar and different, and what does this tell us about
Native American resistance in the late 18th and early 19th centuries?
2. Why should the US declare war, according to Congressman Felix Grundy of
Tennessee? Conversely, what arguments does his colleague from Virginia, John
Randolph, make to argue against a declaration of war against Britain? Be comprehensive
in your evaluation (that is, each Congressman provides an array of reasons to support his
position). Finally, in what ways do the primary source intersect with todays podcast
about the War of 1812? Elaborate using at least three examples from the podcast.
