for two decades tecumseh had locked horns with harrison and cursed william henry harrison. it's that tecumseh cursed harrison when he was killed. he said harrison will die at the height of his power and every american leader to decades, every two decades thereafter every american leader will die. you have all heard of montezuma's revenge which is pretty bad but tecumseh's curse is even worse. are you ready for this? william henry harrison is elected in 1840 or first -- president. he gets elected based on a little song. tippecanoe and tyler too. he was old tippecanoe and the hero of the battle and tyler was john tyler of virginia the vice president. now in 1840 tippecanoe gets elected and they make tippecanoe they make harrison and i know this is surprising to all is surprising quality to all of you but campaign gurus can make candidates out to be better than they are. work with me, right? they make him out to be half george washington, half andrew jackson, someone who would be drinking spirits with one hand and fighting bears with the other hand. he's almost like a davy cro

my guess is tecumseh's curse of harrison kind of went like this, f-you, harrison. [laughter] so the second cause of war was the understood yang question. we wanted -- indian question. we wanted to annihilate the red man. not a reservation system, genocide. and the war was an excuse to do that. the third cause of the war, manifest destiny. empire. with seem like james winchester and is aaron burr, right? the first of two vice presidents to shoot someone, right? and aaron burr and winchester, henry clay, john c. calhoun, all these guys had delusions of grandeur and visions of empire. they saw themselves taking canada, taking mexico, taking whatever they wanted. burr thought he would be 'em record of this great territory. and clay and calhoun were the ringleaders in the year 1810 which was a midterm election year. sometimes in midterm election years like the last one, right, there is a big turnover. i hope this year there's a big turnover, right? both parties, both chambers. in 1810 there was a big turnover. that's the good news. a large percentage of congress was def

my guess is tecumseh's curse of harrison kind of went like this, f-you, harrison.
