What if Tecumseh had united the Indians?

What would the outcome had been if Tecemseh had been able to realize his dream of a coalition of United States of Indians? How real were his chances of uniting such a disparate group? What would have happened if Walasicka had the patience and prudence to not attack Harrison's forces at Prospectstown? What if he had waited until Tecumseh had come back?
 
The very things the Indians were fighting to preserve-their diverse cultures, their less hierarchical societies, and their methods of living made Tecumseh's job very difficult to accomplish. Intra-Indian ethnic rivalries would make keeping an alliance almost impossible, even if one was formed. A low population density and a lack of military hierarchy meant that running the disciplined, strategically difficult campaign necessary to stop the Americans would be almost impossible. If Tecumseh ordered his forces to not attack one encampment, they could very well choose to ignore his orders. Unlike a US officer, he did not have the power to order his men flogged for disobedience and desertion-he could not force his men to follow his orders in the same way that his American counterparts could with theirs.
 
There's a timeline that explores this I believe with a formation of a British-supported Indian country in the Northwest. It isn't impossible though it's certainly hard to keep all those different Native American tribes united into one cohesive structure once the "threat" has subsided.
 
It's possible if he has a competent British officer working with him, though his confederacy would be relatively short-lived and ultimately flounder on the problems of Pan-Indianism superimposed on the reality of Indian societies. The consequences of delaying a US westward march even for a generation, however, are ultimately profound for North America at a minimum.
 
Doesn't matter if he unites them or not, his cause is doomed. The United States can produce pistols, swords, rifles, cannon, lake and river gunboats, supply wagons (and oxen to haul them), and gunpowder. The native American confederation would be unable to produce any of these things. Its sole supply would be from the British, which would dry up once the War of 1812 is over. Furthermore, U.S. forces, including militia, had become battle hardened and by 1814 were racking up impressive victories against professional British soldiers led by professional British officers. If the U.S. could defeat these forces it could defeat Tecumseh's confederation with ease. As to leadership, good commanders had emerged on the U.S. side of the War of 1812, such as Andrew Jackson, Winfield Scott, Jacob Brown, Thomas MacDonough (Battle of Lake Champlain), Oliver Hazard Perry (Battle of Lake Erie) and Alexander Macomb. In addition, the U.S. had a sizeable number of West Point graduates trained in at least the rudiments of professional tactics and of military engineering. For instance, West Pointer Macomb employed his engineering skills brilliantly as land commander at the Battle of Lake Champlain where his troops gradually fell back into prepared positions designed to confuse, split, channel, ambush and defeat a British army that outnumbered them ten to one (the British withdrew). As a result of the war, West Point was expanded and its courses systematized, which would have given even more of an advantage over Tecumseh even if the final showdown with him were delayed by a few years. My personal opinion is that any major victories by Tecumseh's federation would be reversed within months, not years, and the idea of Tecumseh blocking U.S. expansion into the west by an entire generation is without merit.
