Best Answer

Tenskwatawa a former drunkard had a vision of paradise and the means to get there. He gave up drinking and became a prophet, guiding the Shawnee back to their spirituality. He described paradise and how the People had to go back to the old ways in many aspects of life and become virtuous in order to get there. He encouraged them to give up the white man's whiskey, clothing and weapons. He told men to respect their wives and children. He encouraged the men to once again protect what is there and to honor their heritage. What he did was give the Shawnee hope when there was little to hope for.
