傑克森在181489日簽署傑克森堡條約 (Treat of Fort Jackson)

隨著他們向西邊移居,這些移民經常透過不公平的手段取得了大批的土地。就在天梭湖攻擊事件之後,傑克森率領5千名志願軍,消滅了兩個克裡克族的村落。

七個月之後,傑克森的軍隊又在馬靴灣戰役 (
Battle of Horseshoe Bend) 中,擊敗了克裡克族的防線。有8百名克裡克族的鬥士被殺,而有5百名婦女與兒童被捕。

181489日,傑克森簽署了「傑克森堡條約」,戰火也因此得到平息。不過,克裡克族卻失去了23百萬英畝的土地,大部分都是位在現在的阿拉巴馬州與喬治亞州。


As they moved west, settlers took large amounts of land, often acquired by unfair means. After the attack at Lake Tensaw, Jackson led 5,000 militiamen in the destruction of two Creek villages.

Seven months later, Jackson's forces destroyed the Creek defenses at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. Eight hundred Creek warriors were killed and 500 women and children captured.

On August 9, 1814, Jackson signed the Treaty of Fort Jackson, bringing an end to the war. The Creeks lost 23 million acres of their land in present-day Alabama and Georgia to the United States.
