Summary

"The bloody Battle of Tippecanoe was only the beginning. It's 1811 and President James Madison has ordered the destruction of Shawnee warrior chief Tecumseh's alliance of tribes in the Great Lakes region.

Venture through the fraught history of our country's founding on already occupied lands, from General Andrew Jackson's brutal battles with the Creek Nation to President James Monroe's epic 'sea to shining sea' policy, to President Martin Van Buren's cruel enforcement of a 'treaty' that forced the Cherokee Nation out of their homelands along what would be called the Trail of Tears"--
