    Battle of Horseshoe Bend
    Part of the Creek War

    Note: Lt. Cato West, and nephews including Gadi, Levi, Berry, William fought in this conflict led by General Andrew Jackson against the Red Stick Creeks in Alabama. Without Indian allies against Tecumseh, the Americans might have lost the battle, and the Creeks might have created a pan Indian area between the eastern colonies and western settlements such as New Orleans and Natchez.
