A consequence of the Creek War in 1813 was that the Creek gave up much of their land to the United States. The conflict, which was part of the larger context of the War of 1812, resulted in significant territorial losses for the Creek Nation, particularly following their defeat at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814. The subsequent Treaty of Fort Jackson in 1814 led to the cession of millions of acres of Creek land to the U.S. government.
