War of 1812, Battle of Horseshoe Bend, 1814

Weatherford of the Creeks submitting to Jackson after the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, during the War of 1812. On March 27, 1814, US forces and Indian allies under Colonel Jackson defeated the Red Sticks, a part of the Creek Indian tribe who opposed American expansion. The battle raged for over five hours. Roughly 550 Red Sticks were killed on the field, while many of the rest were killed trying to cross the river. William Weatherford, (1765-1824), was a Creek chief of the Upper Towns who led the Red Sticks' offensive in the Creek War (1813-1814). Weatherford was of mixed Creek, French and Scots ancestry. After the war, he rebuilt his wealth as a slaveholding planter in Alabama. Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) was the seventh President of the USA (1829-37). A polarizing figure who dominated the Second Party System in the 1820s and 1830s, he destroyed the national bank and relocated most Indian tribes from the Southeast to west of the Mississippi River. The 1830-50 period later became known as the era of Jacksonian democracy. He strengthened the power of the presidency, which he saw as spokesman for the entire population. He died at The Hermitage on June 8, 1845, at the age of 78, of chronic tuberculosis, dropsy, and heart failure.
