The Politics of Indian Removal: Creek Government and Society in CrisisUniversity of Nebraska Press, 1982 - 237 Seiten In the two decades after their defeat by the United States in the Creek War in 1814, the Creek Indians of Georgia and Alabama came under increasing--ultimately irresistible--pressure from state and federal governments to abandon their homeland and retreat westward. That historic move came in 1836. This study, based heavily on a wide variety of primary sources, is distinguished for its Creek perspective on tribal affairs during a period of upheaval. |
