Almost two hundred years ago, the territory that would become Alabama was both ancient homeland and new frontier where a complex network of allegiances and agendas was playing out. The fabric of that network stretched and frayed as the Creek Civil War of 1813-14 pitted a faction of the Creek nation known as Red Sticks against those Creeks who supported the Creek National Council. The war began in July 1813, when Red Stick rebels were attacked near Burnt Corn Creek by Mississippi militia and settlers from the Tensaw area in a vain attempt to keep the Red Sticks' ammunition from reaching the main body of disaffected warriors. A retaliatory strike against a fortified settlement owned by Samuel Mims, now called Fort Mims, was a Red Stick victory. The brutality of the assault, in which 250 people were killed, outraged the American public and "Remember Fort Mims" became a national rallying cry. During the American-British War of 1812, Americans quickly joined the war against the Red Sticks, turning the civil war into a military campaign designed to destroy Creek power. The battles of the Red Sticks have become part of Alabama and American legend and include the famous Canoe Fight, the Battle of Holy Ground, and most significantly, the Battle of Tohopeka (also known as Horseshoe Bend) - the final great battle of the war. There, an American army crushed Creek resistance and made a national hero of Andrew Jackson. New attention to material culture and documentary and archaeological records fills in details, adds new information, and helps disabuse the reader of outdated interpretations."--Project Muse. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 647 7 Creek War|d(1813-1814)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /882727 647 7 Battle of Horseshoe Bend|c(Alabama :|d1814)|2fast|0https:/ /id.worldcat.org/fast/960725 647 7 War of 1812|c(United States :|d1812-1815)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1199067 648 7 1812-1815|2fast 650 0 Creek War, 1813-1814.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85033896 650 0 Indians of North America|xWars|y1812-1815.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85065409 650 0 Horseshoe Bend, Battle of, Ala., 1814.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh85062130 650 7 Indians of North America|xWars.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/969954 651 0 United States|xHistory|yWar of 1812.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85140194 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 Braund, Kathryn E.
