In 1811, compelled by
Tecumseh's fiery oratory, the Red Stick Creeks embarked on a path resulting in a cataclysmic war that would rechart the course of Southern history. Beginning as a civil war, the bitterly contested Creek War ultimately became entwined with the larger
War of 1812 in the Gulf South between American and British forces.
Background Information
Tecumeh, along with his brother The Prophet, fought to protect the Shawnees against encroaching whites until his death in the War of 1812. Sometimes called the second American war for independence, the War of 1812 was the last battle against foreign troops on American soil.
