e) he required the tribe to cede more than half its land to the federal government.

After Andrew Jackson defeated the hostile Creeks in Alabama during the War of 1812, he imposed a harsh treaty on them. The Treaty of Fort Jackson, signed in 1814, required the Creeks to cede more than half of their land—approximately 23 million acres—to the United States government.
