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.
