Mims, Alabama, by the "Red Stick-
word of the Creek uprising spreads. In Nash
ville, Tennessee, Governor William Blount calls
on the State Legislature to "teach these
barbarous sons of the woods their inferiority."

Eneah Emathla, Emathlochee, Tuski Hadjo,
Econchattemicco, and Mulatto King. The Semi
noles give up lands north of Tampa Bay, and

Seminoles are poor, at best. The Americans

Machapunga, and Bear River Indians in an

are killed. The war springs from whites settling
in Indian lands, and Indian retaliations. A Swiss
promoter, Baron Christoph von Graffenried
orders the Indians removed, when he discov
ers them on lands he has obtained from the
Crown, at New Bern, in western North Carolina.
