Detailed explanation-1: -How did William McIntosh aid in the removal of Native American tribes from Georgia in the 19th century? He informed white settlers about gold on Creek lands. He attacked white settlers, forcing them to remove the Creeks.
Detailed explanation-2: -William McIntosh (ca. 1775-1825) was a controversial nineteenth-century Creek Indian leader. A planter who owned enslaved Africans, McIntosh opposed the Red Stick majority when civil war divided the Creeks during the War of 1812.
Detailed explanation-3: -On February 12, 1825, Chief McIntosh signed a treaty at Indian Springs selling the remaining Creek land in Georgia.
Detailed explanation-4: -His support of slaveholding, cotton cultivation, and personal ownership of property challenged Creek ways of life and alienated him from more traditional Creeks. In 1825, McIntosh, without Creek consent, negotiated the Treaty of Indian Springs that sold almost all Creek land in Georgia and personally profited McIntosh.
Detailed explanation-5: -The First Treaty of Indian Springs, or more formally the Treaty with the Creeks, 1821, entailed the Creeks ceding their remaining land east of the Flint River in Georgia to the United States. The treaty made the Creek National Council even more determined to cede no more land.
