native americans were a crucial expense, particularly of the creek in georgia and alabama and the shawnee, and the native american tribes. >> this represented the largest displacement of native peoples to the u.s. >> that's absolutely right. obligations to serve in the british royal navy which had the unintended or intended side effect of sometimes sweeping americans into the british nets, as it were and impressing, forcing american sailors into the british navy. so those were the stated represents for the war. the orders in council were reversed before the british knew about the u.s. declaration of war. so that was removed right from the very beginning and the issue of impressment was not in any way addressed with the treaty that ended the war. the treaty of gent which simply returned all matters to the status quo, so in terms of evaluating the effectiveness of the war, if you're looking at relationships with britain, the war doesn't change that much, but the war does have important effects on american unity and american patriotism and it also has very significant effects on american pow

and it leads to the death of tecumseh and, therefore, to the shattering of the shawnee confederacy. that's a crucial turning moment in terms of indian relations that occurs during the war. >> you talked about the rapid expansion of the u.s., the seven states within several short years after the war. >> six, yeah. >> was that a specific program on the part of the federal government to expand or is it just a need for more land? >> well, it's both. and what's quite extraordinary is how very self-conscious people were about thinking about how the rights and needs and desires of the individual could reinforce the needs of the nation. so there is the petition, for example, in illinois of people who want to move into the illinois territory and see illinois become a state, which it does become a state immediately after the war. and in the petition, people say, we want to go because we want to be able to raise families. and this will contribute to the strength of the nation. we will bring civilization and christianity and settled agriculture to these lands by moving on to them. and that's on

and shawnee smith, that starred in the sitcom, "becker." good morning.ar that. everyone wants to know, how is it working with charlie on "anger management"? >> it's great. i'm kidding. it's just -- it's really fun. i'm sorry. there's no drama. he's got his family there. and the kids. and it's just great. it's funny. and there's good writers on it. >> was there ever a moment, though, given the way "two and a half men" ended so abruptly, and not prettily. >> i have no idea what you're talking about. >> was there a moment of trepidation in doing this show, shawnee? >> you know, it was like fertile ground for redemption. and who doesn't need that? >> she's all about the money. >> i'm not going to cast the first stone anywhere. that's for sure. >> that's good. >> we saw him yesterday. he seems really relaxed. >> the only revenge is being -- doing exactly what he's doing. he's great. i couldn't wish it on a nicer, more talented person. and i mean it. >> you don't have a big role. but tell us about it. >> i'm charlie's bartender. so, ironic or not. it's real ea

what got me interested in william henry harrison was i started being interested in the shawnee war chief this ended up leaving the confederation of indians fighting against united states and the war of 1812. he became one of these readily made heroes, oddly inc. in the pantheon of american heroes. the main way to think he is incredibly hon.. he sticks by his guns. he is very principled. he fights for what he believes in. he was one of the few native americans who objected to the torture and killing of prisoners in a time of war. that was seen as very honorable. reading about tecumseh in graduate school there have already been fantastic work sir, there wasn't a lot left on the phone. harris and hadn't received a major biographical treatment sins world war ii. the odd netherworld, naturally assumed the most interesting part of his life. such a short time. people know about millard fillmore's presidency than they do harrison. that is the rub. not sure it had to end up that way. the campaign for the presidency, campaign literature and unbiased biographies so there is no reason he shouldn't h

georgia and alabama, creeks ceded 22 million acres to andrew jackson in the midst of the war, and the shawnee confederacy was shattered as a result of fighting in the great lakes region and perhaps most importantly of all, as a result of the war the british ceased to function as effective allies of native american nations. the british went to the treaty table promising that they were going to insist on the creation of an indian buffer zone between the ohio river and the great lakes that would have been a state for indians and they abandoned that pledge at the treaty table and they never, ever again asked for something like that. so following the war, you have the opening of western territories to the u.s. and you have the rapid integration of those territories right after the war. >> hi. i have a question about the hartford convention, and i know that there was a lot of fed ralists out there and there was a lot of smothering going on across the border to canada and when the hartford convention people came to washington, do you think it was a matter of bad timing because of the battle of new o

the paradigm of shawnee life from cairo with the latest that thank you for that. well some observers predict a further revolt saying egyptians are growing more disillusioned with the results of the revolution. the verdict will be mostly political as opposed to adhere to any sort of justice related matters however on the other hand if mubarak is off the hook the chances are their evolution might find another way of violent expression the stime this is what many egyptians find very bothersome we have went out in the streets and we revolted and the whole world's to buy us and we supposedly ousted mubarak and his regev yet somehow the regime is back shafiq right now is one of the major one of the two major contenders for the presidential elections he could possibly be the president come july first the egyptian people are becoming weary and fatigued by all of this they haven't even thought that there could lucian has as the liver it on its promises the military council might come at the end of the day and say we've we've given you the chance and now we just have to got

i think what got me interested in william henry harrison is i started in tecumseh and the shawnee war chief who is a pleading this confederation of indian fighting against the united states in the war of 1812 and tecumseh is one of these readily made, he rose and he actually gets oddly incorporated in the pantheon of american heroes because in many ways to our way of thinking he's is case is so incredibly honorable. he sticks by his guns and he is very principled. he fights for what he believes in. he was actually one of the few native americans who strongly objected to the torture and killing of prisoners in a time of war. that was also seen as very honorable. in high school in college reading about tecumseh but when it came time to graduate school baradar de been really fantastic

olympian shawnee davis says that's how he got his start to prepare for the winter olympics. >> this a grass roots level of the olympic sports of skating. this is how i started speedskating was by roller skating. then i evolved to speedskating. everyone has to start somewhere. so it's a passion of theirs, maybe they should pursue it. >> 150,000 americans are projected to participate in more than 650 olympic-related events this week. you can watch the olympics right here on nbc4 beginning with the opening ceremony july 27th. >>> today, the gnats are -- the nats are going for best of series. we have more in this sports in a minute. >> good morning. we're going to start off with the nationals in the battle of the beltway in baltimore. no score, top of the second, gnats have two runners on. xavier nady grounds one, and adam laroche looks like he pops it up but that has enough power to get over the right-field fence. 3-0 nats. bottom of the ninth now, time for closer tyler clifford. clifford gets the 12th save of the season and nats win it 3-1. same two this afternoon. >>> mets mohosting th

a snake refuge smack in the middle of their upscale neighborhood. 40 acres of land in the town of shawneevariety of snakes. but some residents of the area known as crimson ridge, say "not in my backyard." >> really disappointing. not what we expected. >> preserve and protect beauty, integrity and value of your neighborhood for years to come. that's what i want. >> well, next up in the fight over the snakes, probably court. and the residents are planning of course a lawsuit to stop the habitat. >>> the burglary suspect in brockton, massachusetts, is heading to court after spending nine hours stuck at the scene of the crime. here is the scene of the crime. police say a 53-year-old man was trying to rob a rent-a-center store when his noggin got caught under a door as he tried to pry it open. his ordeal was caught on tape. >> there have been humorous stories in the past. probably the first one where we have photographs and video to confirm. >> the suspect was treated for a big old bruise on that head. he told police he was just trying to fix the door. yeah, i'm sure they bought that. >> of co

tecumseh was a shawnee indian, though not shawnee chief, not one who had much influence on the shawnee, who with his brother known to us as prophet, there were a number of different names he used over the years and why sellers at the time called him the prophet, sort of a handy term to use because as i said, he changed his name periodically. really developed a program of spiritual, commercial, political and military revival for the tribes of the midwest as a way of not only reducing the encroachments of the white, and if possible, reversing them. but also in terms of restoring the morale of the indian tribes. among the teachings of the prophet world country and -- were of course their restriction of occult. -- alcohol. destroying their social structure but interestingly enough, the prophet forbade the use of firearms. i could only be done under his teaching with the bows, arrows, traditional weapons of the indians, though they could use the white man's weapons to fight in warfare against the americans. they could not, i think it shows how somewhat the same way we limit deer harvest now

religious revivals among the indians north of the ohio, most famously that of a guy nicknamed the shawneerophet. that's when harrison has to change tactics a bit because they, basically, hold to the idea that no indian should sell any land to the united states under any circumstances, and that's sort of directly opposite him. so he's going to have to adopt a number of tactics. he tries to win the prophet over, and then he starts seeing, well, he's a tool of the british, and we have to watch out for him. but, basically, there instant any real -- there isn't any real, there are occasional shows of force, you don't actually have combat until late 1811. which, again, most historians will argue that the war of 1812 actually starts in late 1813. >> how long was he in this position, and when did his presidential aspirations come into effect? >> i would argue his early career is, you know, because he's in office for about a month. he doesn't actually do quite a lot except cough during his presidential days, i guess we would say. but his earlier career, i think, is much more fascinating, and he ha

shawnee davis tells news4 that's how he got his start to prepare for the winter olympics. >> this is level and i evolved to speedskating. it's a passion of theirs, maybe they should pursue it. >> the competition was all part of the olympic day which promotes fitness and sportsmanship. 150,000 americans are projected to participate in more than 650 olympic related events this week. you can watch of course the olympics right here on nbc4. it all begins with the opening ceremony on july 27th. >> they're doing a little more than just skating. we had a little jamming going on and then an ice skating type of thing. >> look like a fun day to be out at rfk stadium too. >> good weather was on their side. >> no complaints. >> we're back in 25 minutes with the local news update. >> join us at 9:00. have a great day.

two comes out with a shawnee indian, not shawnee chief wonder what influence, but his brother who was a prophet use the name to cower. white feathers at the time called it a prophet with a handy term to use because as i say he changed his name periodically. really developed a program of spiritual, commercial, political and military revival for the tribes in the mid-west as a way of not only reducing the encroachments were versed in them, but also in terms of morale among the teachings of the prophet were of course the alcohol was strictly forbidden and they identified that as a serious problem among the indian tribes is something that was demoralizing them and destroy the social structure. interestingly enough, the profits is to be the use of firearms and hunt team and that could only be done under his teaching with the bows, arrows, traditional weapons of the indians is that they could use to buy advanced weapons to fight in war against the americans they could not. i think somewhat wavy limit your harvest -- as some sent today to the fact there hunting that these weapons is in fact
