T HE C REEK W ARS ( ) Also known as the Red Stick War and The Creek Civil War. Began as a civil war within the Creek Nation and America was pulled into it when American soldiers stopped and looted a party of Red Sticks. The Red Sticks realized they were being looted and came back with a surprise attack which is known today as The Battle of Burnt Corn.

C REEK W ARS C ONTINUED America’s federal forces were busy fighting in Britain, so the southern states in the U.S. had to call up their militias to deal with the threat. After a few small battles, all resulting in American victory, Andrew Jackson forced the Creeks to sign the Treaty of Fort Jackson. The Creek ceded over 23 million acres to the United States government.

T HE T RAIL OF T EARS A trail that was used to relocate Indian tribes into reservations that were located in present day Oklahoma. This trail is mostly remembered for the Cherokee tribe. This was considered an act of genocide by many people, including some of the soldiers who were involved. The main tribes that were moved on this trail were the Choctaws, Seminoles, Creeks, Chickasaw, and the Cherokee. It was called the Trail of Tears, because of the death and misery of the tribes who were forced to leave their homes.
