I feel that I must warn people about this year's election. Something that has happened during the war of 1812 has consequences today. During the war of 1812, William harry Harrison was the general that led against the Indian nations led by Tecumseh. One of the famous battles in that war was the battle of Tippecanoe, and there is a ruins park in Illinois where the battle took place. Tippecanoe was the capital of the Indian nations led by Tecumseh. Tecumseh was away fighting Americans on the field of Illinois and Indiana, and left the capital to his brother to defend. His brother was considered the Delaware Prophet of Tippecanoe. Well, in revenge on the Indians for their raids on the white settlements on the frontier, William Harrison and the Americans attacked Tippecanoe and burnt it down to the ground. After this battle, the Delaware Prophet prophesied that a president will die in office every twenty years. Americans won the war of 1812 with a draw against the British, but the Indian nations never rose again after the death of Tecumseh during the war.
Well, if you believe in curses or not, that is up to you to decide, but I will show you the evidence. William Harrison, who fought the Indians in the war of 1812, became president in the 1840 election. Harrison was famous for being the shortest reigning president in our history; for he died in office not too long after he took the oath of office. His vice president, John Tyler, became president, but only for one term. An accident on a ship cruise changed the course of American history during his presidency. There was an update of the Navy and they were showing off the best frigate ship in the fleet. Well. there were two cannons on the ship, and they demonstrated them for a group of invited guests including the president, some of his cabinet members, and some senators. One of the cannons exploded throwing shparal in the air killing some people including the Secretary of State: Abel P. Upshur. Abel was in charge of the annexation of Texas into the Union, but when he died, John Calhoun replaced him and he alienated the Whigs not bringing anyone together.
Because John Tyler failed to annex Texas because of the death of his Secretary of State, he didn't run for president in 1844. James Polk became president in 1844 because he was for manifest destiny to the west. He started the Mexican-American War, and expanded the U.S. with the treaty of Guadelupe to end the war. The war added the southwest territory which included Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, but this expansion caused trouble with the slavery issue. The death of Harrison led to a chain of events leading to the civil war with the Nebraska-Kansas compromise, the 1850 compromise, and the fugitive slave act, and eventually the Civil War that gave rise to Abraham Lincoln. Well, he was assassinated toward the end of the war in 1865 about twenty years after the death of Harrison.
Twenty years later, James Garfield was assassinated in the 1880s, and Abe Lincoln's son Robert witnessed it. Twenty years later, in 1901, William Mckinley was shot, and Lincoln's son was going off a train to meet him when it happened. Twenty years later, Warren G Harding died in office after one of his cabinet members caused an international crisis. Harding was so stressed about it that he died from a heart attack. In 1945, towards the end of World War II, the longest president in our history died in office from a hemorrhage: Franklin Roosevelt. In 1963, John F Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas by Lee Harvey Oswald about 20 years later from the death of FDR. Ronald Reagan was shot in 1980s, but lived from the attempt, and during George w Bush's term in 2005, Reagan died from dementia. Now is the election of 2024, and already a candidate almost died by assassination: yes, Donald Trump. Both Harris and Trump are endorsed by Kennedys: Robert Kennedy Jr for Trump and John F Kennedy's grandson for Harris.
I fear the curse of Tippecanoe's prophet will happen again. O Reader, we must return to the true God, so He can turn this curse into a blessing. We must repent of our wickedness, and turn to God. I plead for that, o reader. I plead for our candidates on both sides to follow Jesus who brought all curses on Himself for Paul said: "Curse be anyone that hangs on a tree." Jesus hung on a cross to give us forgiveness for sins and end all curses, and cleanse us from all sin. Choose God, and let all curses be turned to blessings through Jesus.
