Everything about The Creek War Of 1836 totally explained
The
Creek War of 1836
Although the
Creek people had been forced from Georgia, with many Lower Creeks moving to the
Indian Territory, there were still about 20,000 Upper Creeks living in
Alabama. However, the state moved to abolish tribal governments and extend state laws over the Creeks.
Opothle Yohola appealed to the administration of President
Andrew Jackson for protection from Alabama; when none was forthcoming, the
Treaty of Cusseta was signed on
24 March 1832, which divided up Creek lands into individual allotments.

) Creeks could either sell their allotments and received funds to remove to the west, or stay in Alabama and submit to state laws. Land speculators and squatters began to defraud Creeks out of their allotments, and violence broke out, leading to the so-called "
Creek War of 1836."
Secretary of War Lewis Cass dispatched General
Winfield Scott to end the violence by forcibly removing the Creeks to the
Indian Territory west of the
Mississippi River.
