The Battle of Horseshoe Bend happened in 1814.  In it the Creek tribe was defeated by a joint American and Indian (enemies of the Creeks) force led by Andrew Jackson, who was then a militia general and would later become president of the United States.

The Creeks who opposed Jackson were known as the Red Sticks.  On their side, about 800 out of 1000 fighters died in the battle.  On Jackson's side, 49 were killed out of almost 3000, and 154 were wounded, many of whom died later.

The battle forced the Creeks to give up huge chunks of land to the US.
