Rely on farming rather than hunting, requiring less land. But native Americans did not change to this type of lifestyle. -By the War of 1812, why did the U.S. Govt. give up on the policy of Assimilation? Because they were afraid that the Indians would side with the British or the Spanish. -Shawnee chief Tecumseh tried to resist the white settlers and stand up against the U.S. Govt. Why did he fail? Because one of the Choctaw chiefs persuaded his people not to join Tecumseh and Tecumseh was killed, this ended United Native American resistance. -The Choctaw/Chickasaw were eventually required to leave Mississippi for land in the West.
