Question 10 • CCPS Georgia Studies 8 (45.00900) YL IC
What did the Treaty of New York, Treaty of Fort Jackson, and Treaty of Indian Springs have in common?
Answer
A
The Creeks gave up land in exchange for money and protection, but the US government did little to stop settlers from pushing west.
B
The US government stopped settlers from pushing west onto Creek land in exchange for ownership rights over some Indian land.
C
The Creeks gave up some land to maintain their sovereignty, and the US government recognized the tribes as equals.
D
The US government agreed to establish reservations for the Creeks as long as the Creeks promised to let settlers expand west.
Explanation
All three treaties involved the Creeks giving up land, with compensation or promises connected to the agreements. The Treaty of New York promised U.S. protection, but settlers continued encroaching on Creek territory; later treaties forced or secured further land cessions. So the common pattern is that the Creeks surrendered land while U.S. protection did little to prevent westward settlement.
