Great great Grandma forced to walk the Creek Trail of Tears at the age of 10 years.
The destruction of the last major Creek
fighting force at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend
in 1814 resulted in the Treaty of Fort Jackson. ...
The agreement was imposed on the nation
by Major General Andrew Jackson and
stripped vast areas of Alabama and Georgia
from the Creeks.

U.S. soldiers and state militia troops
rounded up thousands of Creek men,
women and children, herding them into
concentration camps. Then, in large parties
and with little more than the clothes on their
backs, they were driven west on the Trail of
Tears.
During the years 1836-1837, a brutal war
was waged for control of the last remaining
lands of the Creek Nation east of the
Mississippi River. The war initiated one of the
greatest tragedies in American history, the
Creek Trail of Tears.
