Creek Indians, early 19th century (c1880). The Creek fought a war of resistance (Red Stick War) against white immigration into their lands in 1813-1814. After their defeat, much of their land was taken under the terms of the Treaty of Fort Jackson, becoming the State of Alabama in 1819. In 1826, the Creek leader, Menawa, went to Washington to protest agaist the second Treaty of Indian Springs (1825) which stipulated that the majority of the Creek nation would be relocated west of the Mississppi. The treaty was annulled by the Treaty of Washington (1826). A print from Cassell's History of the United States, by Edmund Ollier, Volume III, Cassell Petter and Galpin, London, c1880.
