CREEK WAR
1813 - 1814


The U.S. fought the Creek Indians and won.


BACKGROUND OF THE CREEK WAR
The Creeks allied with the British in the War of 1812.

As a response to the Ft. Mims Massacre on August 30, 1813, carried out by Creek Indians, General Andrew Jackson led his troops against the tribe in Alabama and Georgia.

The main and final battle of this war was the Battle of Horseshoe Bend on March 27, 1814, in which over 800 Creeks were killed.
