Why did the native americans want war in the war of 1812

For Native Americans, the War of 1812 was a desperate struggle for freedom and independence. Native Americans became involved in the conflict to secure British support for their own war against the United States. Led by Tecumseh, they played a key role in defending Canada.

They wanted to keep there land safe, safeguard their tribal lands. They hoped that if the British would get a victory that it would relieve the

unrelenting pressure they were experiencing from U.S. settlers who wanted to move further in the native amaricans land.
