The Siege of Fort Recovery was the beginning of the end of the Confederation of Ohio Algonquians, under the control of the powerful Three Fires Confederation. What likely brought about the events at the American fort can be directly traced to the American white man who is historically known as Blue Jacket. Blue Jacket managed to rise to an high position of power among the Shawnee, after being abducted by the Shawnee. And apparently Tecumseh, who would later on become a significant figure to the whites, was especially fond of Blue Jacket. Tecumseh was raised by the white man, Blue Jacket, after Tecumseh's father was killed in war. What should that tell all Native Americans about Tecumseh? What strikingly stands out concerning Blue Jacket, but nearly everyone will not concede to, is his presence among the Three Fires Confederation was extremely disturbing. Blue Jacket was not Native American, and all of the non Ojibway Indians of the Ohio region, which was the territory of the powerful Three Fires Confederation, were definitely under the control of the Three Fires Confederation then, and the obvious discontent those other non Ojibway Indians felt towards their more powerful kin folk of the Three Fires Confederation, would become disturbingly visible to the leaders of the Three Fires Confederation at Fort Recovery, when Blue Jacket was plainly visible as one of the most important leaders, especially of the Shawnee people. In fact, Blue Jacket was the "main" Shawnee leader. Instead of joining together in one force to battle the Americans at Fort Recovery, one group under the control of Blue Jacket and Little Turtle, felt obliged to do what they so wished, while the other group who were the Three Fires Confederation and Wyandots, took the initiative and went out to face their American foe in a battle for the American fort, which, sadly, the Three Fires Confederation and Wyandots lost. The casualties of the Indians were more than 40 with about half killed in battle, while the casualties of the Americans were more than 60 with about 20 killed in battle. Indeed, the hearts of the leaders of the Three Fires Confederation were breaking, but it would only get worse at Fallen Timbers when Blue Jacket would lead the Indians into battle against the Americans, while most of the warriors from the Three Fires Confederation excused themselves during that battle to hit the bottle. Blue Jackets presence destroyed the Three Fires Confederations dominance among the Ohio Algonquians. (See also: Northwest Indian War) This article is about the Native American tribe. ...
