| | Sentiments in Indiana were strong against a college-trained ministry, as many people believed preachers were not trained but "called." In 1835 the conference convened the yearly meeting with the formation of a literacy institution on the agenda. | | | The Indiana Conference worked closely with the German Methodists of the state to provide them with German language publications and providing them with German-speaking clergy. | | | By 1832, there were 60 preachers working in Indiana with a membership of 20,000 and the Indiana Conference was formed. |

| | Meanwhile, Tenskwatawa's credibility had largely been destroyed by his loss at the Battle of Tippecanoe and he ultimately migrated to Canada. | | | The most immediate and critical of these issues was that of Indians' insistence that the land in question remained under their hegemony rather than that of the United States. | | | This was partially due to the fact that the newly formed government had little money, but more importantly, it reflected an American ideology with regard to the Northwest Territory. |
