In the midst of the War of 1812, the US faced another danger in what was then the Southwestern part of the US. The Native Upper Creek tribe were in an uprising against US settlers in Alabama, near Mobile, Alabama. The tribe attacked Fort Mins and killed 250 settlers. It was called a massacre in that the Natives killed, tortured, and scalped men, women and children. This was contrary to the Native leader Red Eagle who wanted no atrocities, but he was not successful. Future US president, Andrew Jackson, rallied American militias and ended the Creek uprising by 1814.
