The Creek War (1813-1814) was a conflict between the United States and the Creek Nation, a group of Native American tribes in the southeastern U.S. The war arose from tensions over land encroachment by American settlers and internal divisions within the Creek Nation, particularly between the "Red Sticks," who resisted U.S. expansion, and more assimilated Creek factions. The conflict culminated in significant battles, such as the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, leading to the defeat of the Red Sticks and the subsequent Treaty of Fort Jackson, which resulted in substantial land cessions from the Creeks to the U.S.
