Dr. Peach (Tarleton State University) will discuss why some Creeks pursued diplomacy with the United States during the Creek War.
Dr. Abrams (Western Carolina University) will discuss why the Cherokee chose to ally with the United States under Andrew Jackson and their contributions in the Creek War.
