The Treaty of Fort Jackson (also known as the Treaty with the Creeks) was signed on this day in 1814 at Fort Jackson in Alabama. The treaty was agreed upon in the aftermath of the defeat of Red Stick (Upper Creek) resistance by U.S. forces at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend.

The treaty was the “largest single Indian cession of southern American land”, according to historian Michael Rogin - around 23 million acres in Alabama and Georgia. The U.S. forces won with the battle with the help of allied Cherokee and Lower Creek forces friendly to the American side.

The terms of various treaties with the Creek nation would go on to be consistently violated by Americans colonizing the south.

I hope you nerds have a good month of August cuddle

    Sorry your emotional support trans political commentator is shit. Maybe get a better one.

    Also isn’t philosophytube a little more based and also trans? Why don’t they stand behind her?

      IIRC her video on Palestine wasn’t good too, her video “Rationalising Colonialism - How the US Stole Indigenous American Land” brings up anti semitism and doesn’t stand on any side, which makes a lot of sense when you realize she was in a star wars show

        Maybe our (left) issue is we spend too much time dickriding for political youtubers. These people aren’t movement leaders, they’re talk show host at best and nothing more

        Edit: thanks for background I can’t keep up with all these influencers

        Yeah, I’m really not a fan of her. The fact that she only seems “based” in comparison to KKKontraPointSS ain’t sayin’ much
