The Shawnee leader Tecumseh visited Mushulatubbee in 1811 when he travelled south to gain indigenous support for his confederacy, in an effort to resist the expansion of the United States onto Native lands.

Tecumseh met Mushulatubbee, then the chief of the Okla Tannap, the northern region of the three major Choctaw areas of settlement, in the village of Mashulaville.

[citation needed] From 1813 to 1814, Mushulatubbee fought in the Creek War alongside the United States against the Red Sticks, a Muscogee faction attempting to resist U.S. expansion in the American South.

During the Battle of New Orleans in 1815, Mushulatubbee led 52 Choctaw warriors against British pickets which had been established in local bayous, killing several soldiers and demoralizing others.

In 1824, Pushmataha, Mushulatubee, and Apuckshunubbee, the three chiefs of the Choctaw regional divisions, became concerned about the encroaching settlement of European Americans and the unwillingness of local authorities to respect Indian land titles.

I have been told by my white brethren, that the pen of history is impartial, and that in after years, our forlorn kindred will have justice and 'mercy too'.The US government forced the Choctaw to remove to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River.
