William McIntosh, a half-Scottish and half-Creek chief, by signing the first and second Treaty of Indian Springs, gave up nearly all of the Creek's land to Georgia's state government. This action was seen as a betrayal by many Creeks, as it ceded vast amounts of their ancestral lands without the consent of the majority of the Creek Nation. Consequently, McIntosh faced severe consequences for his actions within the Creek community.
