This site is designed to serve as both an information resource for the study of the Creek War and the related Gulf Coast campaigns of the War of 1812 and as a companion to our book on the topic.
Though among our country's least known and understood conflicts, these wars played a crucial role in charting the history of the South. They led to the forced removal of Native Americans from the region, secured the Gulf South against European powers, facilitated increased migration into the area, furthered the development of slave-based agriculture and launched the career of Andrew Jackson, one of America's most influential military and political leaders.
We invite you to learn more about these formative events in Southern history by exploring this site, and hope you will revisit it over the coming months as it continues to develop.
