The Treaty of Fort Jackson (also known as the Treaty with the Creeks, 1814) was signed on August 9, 1814 at Fort Jackson in present-day Alabama following the defeat of the Red Sticks by United States and its Creek Nation allies at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. By the terms of the treaty, the Creek were forced to cede 23 million acres of their territory: their remaining land in Georgia and much of central Alabama, to the United States government. In other words, it made no distinction between the Red Sticks and the USA's allies.
