A direct result of this treaty was the forced removal of the Creek Indians from Alabama. The Trail of Tears caused approximately 220000 Creeks to be moved to the west by both land and sea routes. Along the way 3500 died. The relinquishment of thier lands, once owned and farmed, by the Creek Nation, led to poverty, starvation, and broken hearts. We honor our ancestors.
