Question

Read the excerpt from an 1810 speech by Tecumseh.

You wish to prevent the Indians from doing as we wish them, to unite and let them consider their lands as the common property of the whole. You take the tribes aside and advise them not to come into this measure. . . . You want by your distinctions of Indian tribes, in allotting to each a particular, to make them war with each other. You never see an Indian endeavor to make the white people do this. You are continually driving the red people, when at last you will drive them onto the great lake, where they can neither stand nor work.

PLEASE HURRY. According to the excerpt, what did Tecumseh want other American Indians to do?

fight among themselves so Tecumseh could gain their land
think of their land as common American Indian property
negotiate and then agree to peace with whites
relocate to the great lake for work

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Think of their land as common American Indian property

Step-by-step explanation:

From the excerpt it would appear as though Tecumseh wants Indians to unite and think of their land collectively as common American Indian property which would put them in a better position to resist attempts by the government (white people) to take their land.

It would appear from the speech however, that the white people are encouraging groups not to accept this thought and little wonder because a disjointed response to the whites wanting their land would give the whites better chances of possessing Indian land.
