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.

It was not that simple, however. The Creek Nation was divided and factions fought on both sides in the war.


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.


The consequences of this defeat were severe.

On August 9, 1814, the Treaty of Fort Jackson was signed, by which the Creeks ceded 23 million acres of land to the U.S. (more than half of Alabama and part of southern Georgia).
