Detailed explanation-1: -Upon defeat, the Creeks ceded 23, 000, 000 acres of land (half of Alabama and part of southern Georgia); they were forcibly removed to Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) in the 1830s. There with the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole, they constituted one of the Five Civilized Tribes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Creek War was a part of the larger War of 1812 fought between a faction of the Creek tribe and US forces in 1813–14. It resulted in the defeat of the Creek nation and paved the way for the division of the Mississippi Territory into the states of Mississippi and Alabama.
Detailed explanation-3: -Under the terms of the treaty, the Creek Nation ceded nearly 22 million acres to the United States. Jackson justified the seizure of so much territory as payment for the expense of an “unprovoked, inhuman, and sanguinary” war.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Creek War effectively ended in August 1814 with the signing of the Treaty of Fort Jackson, when Andrew Jackson forced the Creek confederacy to surrender more than 21 million acres in what is now southern Georgia and central Alabama.
Detailed explanation-5: -What effect did the war with the Creeks have on the United States during the War of 1812? The United States gained significant territory after a decisive defeat of the Red Stick Creeks. The British were dissatisfied with the Treaty of Ghent and sought to capture New Orleans to force a more favorable settlement.
