Brock was a very smart General. A great example of this is when he was preparing his troops for war and planning his attack. He put himself into the shoes of his enemy. .
"The natural place for the Americans to attack Canada was at Montreal, Canada's major city. Taking Montreal would block the St. Lawrence River and prevent the British from sending reinforcements from Quebec. However, if the Indians were to attack the Americans on their left flank as they moved north toward Montreal, the invasion would fail"(Greenblatt 67-68)." Brock was right and the Americans sent an invading force to the Richelieu River. The Canadians were able to defeat the Americans with help from the Aboriginals and stop them from advancing any further. Brock would go on to lead the Canadians to two major victories at Fort Detroit and Queenstone Heights. Unfortunately, a sharpshooter at Queenstone Heights killed Brock. Brock is remembered today as the Hero of Upper Canada and a great General with superior leadership and intelligence on the battlefield. Brock was a huge asset for the Canadians and he helped them win the war.
Tecumseh was a Shawnee leader who was a huge factor in the aboriginals' decision to join the Canadians and helped the Canadians win the war. His hatred towards the Americans started when his father was killed in a clash between the Shawnee and a Virginian Militia in Virginia. He was also against the Americans because there was a constant threat from them because they wanted to expand westward into aboriginal territory. He felt as if the Canadians would treat the Aboriginals better and help stop the Americans from expanding into his territory. With his outrage towards the Americans, he convinced his fellow people to fight alongside the Canadians. "[Tecumseh] convinced many villages to join in his resistance and gained followers who moved to Prophetstown. At the height of Tecumseh's influence, he may have had up to 5,000 warrior followers"(Hasday).
