    The Creek War was a brutal conflict for the red nation and the loss of this war resulted in much land being taken by the American warlords of the South. The Creek nation was taken advantage and split into two as the United States created a civil war among this powerful Indian nation and a book called "A paradise Of Blood" by Howard Wier looks at this major conflict and last major Eastern Indian war. The constant threat of a unified Spanish and British Indian allied conflict frightened the American slave-owning classes of the South and the lust for additional lands and increased presence of settlers was the issue that climaxed with this war of Indian displacement. The Creek conflict was a part of the wider war of 1812 the United states faced against Great Britain and this war provided the last opportunity for true independence of the five civilized nations whose open divisions and stupid conflicts made it easier for conquest. The various armies of Georgia regulars, West Point  American army, Cherokee warriors, Tennessee militia, Creek friendly  allies, and settler backwoodsmen united in this campaign to exterminate hostile independent minded creeks who desperately tried to find allies in Spanish and British militaries that neglected their Indian friends in the end. after false promises of help. This incredible book captures the major events and leadership decisions of this war in a magnificent  written work that is almost five hundred pages of great material. This book gets a good look at Andrew Jackson and what would eventually become the American president determined not to see a war like this again on the soils of the South with his solution to just dispel Americas native peoples from the soils of their great grandfathers in a land grab unseen in history after one war. The desperation of the Red stick Creeks, many of whom would eventually move South and become Seminole and continue the fight, is profound in this book and their decision to attack forts and settlements along the Alabama river show was not taken lightly knowing full-well the increasing power and numbers of the American nation up North. Millions of acres of valuable rich lands would be lost and thousands of Indians slaughtered in this war whose victory did much to increase the power of the nation called America and whose defeat expelled the natives to a more dire position and difficulty for tribal survival. The fact that the other four civilized tribes would soon lose their land despite aiding the Americans in this campaign in the Southwest showed the expansionist greed of the settlers which caused this war to begin with and how it was basically a drive to remove the Indians from their ancestral homes. This same process is occurring in Syria and Iraq as we speak and is all an elaborate plan fro war profiteers and resource extractors whose brutal tactics of division and exploitation for power and profit haven't changed through the years.
