Both orators in some ways blame the White Man for the destruction of his own peoples and remind the audience of the White Man's seemingly unquenchable desire for more land and more power, at the expense of the Red Man. They also diverge in that Red Jacket is much kinder in his observations and conclusions, likely very much associated with the divergent audiences while Tecumseh is universally unkind to the White Man for his historical actions, which have taken so much from and spilled much Red Man blood. Red Jacket ends his ethical rant by withholding judgement, while Tecumseh calls for a united war on the White Man were revenge will be had and much White blood will be spilled, through a united effort of war.

Pathos

The character of the Red Jacket speech is dependant upon the emotional ties that the Red Man and the White Man have with one another and the sorrow that White Men might be feeling for the historical actions of their own kind, against the Red Man. Red Jacket relies heavily on the pathos of brotherhood and unity, as does Tecumseh but from entirely different emotional motivations. Red Jacket expresses that he sees the calling of the White Man for this "council fire" as a sign that they emote in a manner that is at least sympathetic to the Red Man, and that they will see the Red Man as similar to the White Man in their divergent takes on religion and history.

While Tecumseh relies on Brotherhood and Unity as a collective experience of having been brutalized, in countless ways by the White Man and seeking retribution for the lost land, power and blood of th Red Man. The emotions of each audience is divergent and therefore the pathos had to be tailored to the audience, and call upon history to redirect the meaning and mission of the statements each persuasive argument makes.

The formation and reception of each persuasive speech is very obviously tailored for and to the audience being persuaded. Red Jacket, accepted as an authority for his previous dealings with the White Man (even so much so that he was given his name as a result of the British) is clearly the right man to tell the U.S. Senate that the Red Man wishes to withhold judgment on the word of a group of people who have done so many wrongs to his people. Tecumseh in accordance is the right man for the job of persuading a rival Indian nation of the need to create unity through a collective sense of wrongdoing and to come together to fight, a mistake Tecumseh expresses that other Indian nations have made by not doing so long ago.
