I think, I mean, a lot of Potawatomi, particularly in the regions, have already begun to understand that they want to cut the best deal they can with the U.S.,

And that Tecumseh is probably, he's looking for something that isn't going to happen, that the future that he's envisioning is not a future that's likely.

So there are Potawatomi that are going to align themselves with the U.S.

and they're going to protect the captain.

And the captain, again, to give you a sense of this, I mean, he gets ransomed forever.

First, he's ransomed from the Potawatomi, and then he winds up at Michilimack, he and his wife up at Mackinac with the British, and eventually is paroled and makes his way back from Buffalo around.

And his family, his wife's family is from Kentucky, and they finally get word that he and his wife have survived almost, I think it's six, seven months after the initial attack.

And

By that point, her family had assumed that they had been killed in the attack or in the aftermath of the attack.

So there's nothing for Dearborn.

They burn it down.

The Potawatomi and their allies burn it down.

And for the rest of the War of 1812, there's nothing at Chicago.

Yeah, 1821.

So Fort Dearborn has been rebuilt after the War of 1812.

And as a result of the War of 1812, despite the fact that the Potawatomi and their allies win that battle at Fort Dearborn or near Fort Dearborn in August of 1812, the Potawatomi and their allies, the indigenous people in the western Great Lakes, they lose big time.

in this war.

I mean, they have lost this war.

Tecumseh has been killed in the Battle of Thames.

The whole movement has disintegrated.
