Originally not friendly towards white expansion and Indian relocation, Shabbona fought alongside Tecumseh against white settlers in Tecumseh's War, which later bleed over into the War of 1812. By that time, however, Shabbona was acting as a guide for American forces and was present at the Battle of the Thames, where Tecumseh lost his life. Later, during the Black Hawk War, Shabbona fought hard to keep his tribe peaceful and friendly towards the white settlers. He died in Morris on July 17, 1859.
