Tecumseh was an indian chief. He died in southern Ontario.

John Smith was the leader of either the Jamestown, or Plymouth colony. I forget which one.

Thomas Jefferson was the main writer of the Declaration of Independence, the second president of the United States.

Squanto was the indian who taugh the Pilgrims how to plant corn and plant the seeds with fish as fertilizer.

Lewis and Clark were the guys who went on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. They were sent by Thomas Jefferson to explore the land acquired in the Louisiana Purchase. The trip lasted from 1803 to 1805 or 1806 I think. They went up the Missouri River, and then went down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean.

Answer 3

Alexis DE Tocqueville
was a French political thinker and historian. His most famous works are Democracy in America (appearing in two volumes: 1835 and 1840) and The Old Regime and the Revolution (1856). In both of these works, he explored the myriad and profound effects of the rising equality of social conditions on both the individual and the state in western societies.

Tecumseh
whose given name might be more accurately rendered as Tecumtha or Tekamthi, was a famous Shawnee leader. He spent much of his life attempting to rally disparate Native American tribes in a mutual defense of their lands, which eventually culminated in his death in the War of 1812.

Tecumseh was greatly admired in his day, remains a respected icon for Native Americans and is considered a national hero in Canada. Even his longtime adversary William Henry Harrison considered Tecumseh to be "one of those uncommon geniuses which spring up occasionally to produce revolutions and overturn the established order of things."

John Smith
John Andrew Smith or catian john smith was the man in charge of England's first permanent settlement he founded Virginia and founded the James town colony

Thomas Jefferson
u have to be kidding right

Squanto
was one of two Native American 'Indians' (Samoset being the other) that assisted the Pilgrims after their first winter in the New World. He was a member of the Patuxet tribe, a subtribe of the Wampanoag Confederacy. The name Tisquantum, roughly meaning "Rage of the Manitou" in local dialect, was most likely not his given name and may have been adopted for his dealings with the Pilgrims.

It was not unknown for early explorers of what would eventually become the continent of America to take 'Indians' back to Europe with them. Squanto was kidnapped and taken to England by George Weymouth in 1605, according to the memoirs of Ferdinando Gorges.

If Gorges' memoirs can be believed, Squanto worked in England for nine years before supposedly returning to the New World on John Smith's 1613 voyage.

Lewis and Clark
again you kidding right
but any way they were charged by Jefferson after the Louisiana purchase to to find a water way from st Louis to the pacific ocean and to also see how much land we really got from the French

John Rolfe
was one of the early English settlers of North America. He is credited with the first successful cultivation of tobacco as an export crop in the Colony of Virginia and is known as the husband of Pocahontas, daughter of the chief of the Powhatan Confederacy.
