The Creek War of 1813-1814, which escalated from a civil conflict among Muscogee factions to a full-scale war with the United States, had profound implications for American expansion. Triggered by the brutal Fort Mims massacre, this conflict culminated in a decisive U.S. victory at Horseshoe Bend, marking a turning point in Native American resistance. The book explores the complexities of these events, highlighting the tragic consequences for the Muscogee people and the broader impact on U.S. territorial growth.
