A noted battle-cry during the fighting was "Remember the Raisin!," a reference to the earlier River Raisin Massacre. One combatant in this battle was later left off the 1840 Democratic ticket, leaving Van Buren without a runningmate, and used a Vice Presidential political slogan beginning "Rumpsey Dumpsey" that referred to events in this battle; that was Richard Mentor Johnson. The battle took place near a village of Delaware Indians who had been converted to Christianity by Moravian missionaries, which is why it is called Moraviantown by the British and Canadians. For 10 points, identify this October 5, 1813 skirmish in the War of 1812, the site where Tecumseh was killed.
