Answer 1

Causes:
The Battle of Horseshoe Bend was fought as part of the Creek War, a conflict between the United States and the Creek Nation, a Native American tribe. The Creek War was caused by the Creek Nation's refusal to cede their lands to the United States in the Treaty of Fort Jackson.

Events:
The Battle of Horseshoe Bend took place on March 27, 1814. It was fought between the United States Army, led by General Andrew Jackson, and the Creek Nation, led by Chief Menawa. The battle lasted for several hours and resulted in a decisive victory for the United States.

Results:
The Battle of Horseshoe Bend resulted in a decisive victory for the United States. The Creek Nation was forced to cede 23 million acres of land to the United States in the Treaty of Fort Jackson. This land would later become part of the states of Alabama and Georgia. The Creek War also led to the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain. The Treaty of Ghent also led to the Era of Good Feelings, a period of peace and prosperity in the United States.
