  Tecumseh   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Tecumseh's name (which has been translated variously "I Cross the Way" or "A Panther Crouching for His Prey") was a reference to his family clan (or phratry), and not to a passing comet as later traditions claimed.
Tecumseh revived an idea advocated in previous years by the Shawnee leader Blue Jacket and the Mohawk leader Joseph Brant, which stated that American Indian land was owned in common by all tribes, and thus no land could be sold without agreement by all.
Tecumseh then traveled to the south, on a mission to recruit allies among the so-called "Five Civilized Tribes." Most of the southern nations rejected his appeals, but a faction among the Creeks, who came to be known as the Red Sticks, answered his call to arms, leading to the Creek War.

 Tecumseh\'s curse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The term Tecumseh's curse or Zero Year Curse is sometimes used to describe a chain of events that began with the death of United States President William Henry Harrison from pneumonia.
Commonly attributed to Indian chief Tecumseh (and sometimes to his brother Tenskwatawa, aka The Prophet, who was defeated in the Battle of Tippecanoe by Harrison), the "curse" is said to have proclaimed the death of all presidents elected every 20 years.
Regardless, the "curse" is taken seriously by some Christian groups, who recently have called for prayer to avert catastrophe from Presidents Reagan and George W. Bush in the election years 1980 and 2000; similar groups had been doing this since 1920.

 Tecumseh -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
By 1808, tensions with whites and Black Hoof's Shawnees compelled Tenskwatawa and Tecumseh to remove further northwest and establish the village of Prophetstown near the confluence of the Wabash and Tippecanoe Rivers (near present-day Battle Ground, Indiana).
Although Tecumseh would eventually emerge as the leader of this confederation, it was built upon a foundation established by the religious appeal of his younger brother.
Relatively few of these followers were Shawnees; although Tecumseh is often portrayed as the leader of the Shawnees, most Shawnees in fact had little involvement with Tecumseh or the Prophet, and chose instead to move further west or to remain at peace with the United States.

Maybe too much is made of "the curse of the Bambino" as an explanation for all the grief suffered by the Red Sox and their fans since that dark day in 1920.
As any Red Sox fan will tell you, the most painful part of the curse is not simply the failure to win a World Series since the Babe departed.

I wonder if any of the presidential assasins knew about the curse before their attempts.
