On March 27, 1814, Major General Andrew Jackson’s army of 3,300 men attacked Chief Menawa’s 1,000 Red Stick Creek warriors, who were fortified in a horseshoe-shaped bend of the Tallapoosa River. More than 800 Red Sticks died in the battle. The victory ended the Creek War, forced a cession of 23,000,000 acres to the United States, and made Andrew Jackson a national hero.
