Removal of the Creeks and the Cherokee: During the Revolutionary War, many of the Creek sided with the British against the Americans, so the Americans wanted the Creek removed because they could not trust them. In 1790, McGillivray agreed to cede all lands west of the Oconee River. In exchange for giving up lands, President Washington agreed to recognize and protect the Cherokee Nation. Despite the promises made to the Creek, in 1803, Georgia decided to remove all Creek and Cherokee Indians from Georgia. In 1825, William McIntosh gave up all creek lands. Because of how furious the Indians became, they assassinated McIntosh and all the Creek Indians relocated west of the Mississippi River. In 1830, President Andrew Jackson signed a treaty called the Indian Removal Act, which required all Indians, Creek and Cherokee, to move west of the Mississippi.
Alexander McGillivray: McGillivray served as a British Colonel in Georgia and Tennessee. Years after the war, he wanted to gain United States respect on Creek boundaries. Because of this, in 1790, he finally agreed to cede all Creek lands east of the Oconee River. In exchange, President Washington said he would agree to recognize the Creek which was a lie.
William McIntosh: In 1825, Chief William McIntosh signed the Treaty of Indian Springs, which gave up all Creek Lands. The Creeks got very mad at the chief, and attacked and assassinated him on April 30, 1825 by 200 Creek Indians.
Sequoyah: Sequoya was one of the most famous Cherokee Indians because he created the Cherokee writing system, which allowed the Cherokees to read and write in their language.
