In the [[Creek War]], General [[Andrew Jackson]] [[File:Aj-map1812.jpg|thumb|350px|Jackson's campaigns]] led American militias, regulars and Indian allies against the "Red Sticks" Creeks who had raided, raped and killed American settlers in what is now Alabama. The Creeks were collaborating with Tecumseh and had been supplied by the Spanish. Indians seldom fought pitched battles; they preferred the ambush. Jackson trapped the Creeks at Horseshoe Bend in Alabama in March 1814, and killed over 800 enemy; the rest fled to Spanish Florida.
