Read the excerpt from an 1810 speech by Tecumseh.

You wish to prevent the Indians from doing as we wish them, to unite and let them consider their lands as the common property of the whole. You take the tribes aside and advise them not to come into this measure. . . . You want by your distinctions of Indian tribes, in allotting to each a particular, to make them war with each other. You never see an Indian endeavor to make the white people do this. You are continually driving the red people, when at last you will drive them onto the great lake, where they can neither stand nor work.

TIMED PLEASE HURRY. To which prior event does the excerpt refer?

Pontiac’s Rebellion
the creation of the Embargo Act of 1807
the passage of the Indian Removal Act
