Question

What did the Treaty of New York, Treaty of Fort Jackson, and Treaty of Indian Springs have in common? The Creeks gave up land in exchange for money and protection, but the US government did little to stop settlers from pushing west. The US government stopped settlers from pushing west onto Creek land in exchange for ownership rights over some Indian land. The Creeks gave up some land to maintain their sovereignty, and the US government recognized the tribes as equals. The US government agreed to establish reservations for the Creeks as long as the Creeks promised to let settlers expand west.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Creeks gave up land in exchange for money and protection, but the US government did little to stop settlers from pushing west.

Explanation:

The fight for land and belonging has been a constant source of discontentment between the Native Indians and the American government. The Creeks were one such native people who, like every other Native Indian, had to suffer at the hands of the United States government and try to find peaceful ways for them to have their own reservations.

But while there are numerous wars fought between the two, there are also numerous treaties signed to try to maintain peace and cordial relations. The Treaty of New York (1790), the Treaty of Fort Jackson (1814), and the Treaty of Indian Springs (1825) were some of the treaties signed between the two parties. And one common factor of these treaties is that the Creeks were made to cede their lands in exchange for some money and protection from the government. But while the Native Indians kept their part of the agreement, the U. S. Government did not do much to keep their part and did not stop the flow of settlers in the areas of the Native Indians.
