What began as a vicious internal conflict among the Creek Indians metastasized like a cancer. The ensuing Creek War of 1813-1814 shattered Native American control of the Deep South and led to the infamous Trail of Tears, in which the government forcibly removed the southeastern Indians from their homelands. The war also gave Andrew Jackson his first combat leadership role, and his newfound popularity after defeating the Creeks would set him on the path to the White House." -- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.5238 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.5238 Cozzens Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Jackson Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.5238 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList
