I just LOVE historical documentaries where Natives were always there to help the Europeans win wars. Unfortunately, the euros not only used the People in helping them win wars but they also used them for their own personal gain, wealth and greed. The War of 1812 ended in a stalemate but the People were always there to assist whichever side needed them the most.
I love the type of setting this series takes place. Most of the scenes occur in darkness or in dim light. I love dark or dim scenes since it helps add to the mystery/suspense of the program's setting.
Tecumseh's friendship with General Brock was very strong. But if it were not for Tecumseh's unexpected death in 1813, Tecumseh would have united most of the Native Nations east of the Mississippi River and thus making it more difficult for the Americans to steal their lands.
Furthermore, if Tecumseh's brother, the Prophet only stayed put and not engage himself at Tippecanoe in 1811 like Tecumseh specifically told him to, General Harrison and his men would not have been able to take the main Shawnee village. Mind you, Harrison took advantage of Tecumseh's absence before that battle and stormed in to take Prophetstown. So these were the main factors that aided the Americans defeat the Shawnee.
Anyways, this documentary earns an 8 out of 10.
