And Indians up and down the frontier massacred white settlers. I've read all of this many times before. I have Creek and mostly Cherokee heritage. A side note is that a Creek woman and her small half white son escaped after the battle and made their way to Central Florida. That son grew up to be Chief Osceola of the Seminoles. The Seminoles were an amalgamation of Creeks, runaway slaves, and local tribes that all mixed into something unique. Seminole is a Creek word meaning runaway, referring to Creeks who fled after the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. And it was the kidnapping of Osceola's black wife that led to the First Seminole War. After the Seminoles were defeated were they all slaughtered? No, eventually they were shipped to Oklahoma. Most of them that is.
