54. Final Battle of the Creek War, 1814
Horseshoe Bend, Tallapoosa County
In a fierce battle, Tennessee militiamen, led by Andrew Jackson and supported by Native American allies,
crushed Red Stick Creek Indians who had taken refuge in the bend of the Tallapoosa River. This battle
crippled Creek resistance, marked the end of the Creek Indian War of 1813-1814, and resulted in the
transfer of 23 million acres of Creek land to the United States.
