Many historians regard the Battle of Horse Shoe Bend in 1814 as the beginning of the end for Native American sovereignty and self-determination in North American. Do you agree or disagree? How and why were the experiences and the strategies of the Creek, the Choctaw and the Cherokee similar to or different than those of Native Americans later in the nineteenth century, until about the late 1870s? How do these flashpoints of crisis between predominantly white settlers, (backed by the US government,) and Native Americans fit with such ideas as “Jacksonian Democracy” and “American Progress?” (For example, would Jefferson and Jackson’s land settlement policies have been possible without forced removal of Indians from the land?)
