The Creek War and the War of 1812
Welcome!
This site is designed to serve as both an information
resource for the study of the Creek War and the related
Gulf Coast campaigns of the War of 1812 and as a
companion to our book on the topic, Battle for the
Southern Frontier: The Creek War and the War of
1812.
Though among our country's least known and
understood conflicts, these wars played a crucial role in
charting the history of the South. They led to the forced
removal of Native Americans from the region, secured
the Gulf South against European powers, facilitated
increased migration into the area, furthered the
development of slave-based agriculture and launched
the career of Andrew Jackson, one of America's most
influential military and political leaders.
We invite you to learn more about these formative
events in Southern history by exploring this site, and
hope you will revisit it over the coming months as it
continues to develop.
