Battle of Horseshoe Bend: Jackson Defeats the Creek Nation
General Andrew Jackson's forces killed over 800 Creek warriors at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, the decisive engagement of the Creek War in central Alabama. The victory forced the Creek Nation to cede 23 million acres of land and catapulted Jackson to national fame that would carry him to the presidency fifteen years later.
