Categories:


Offers a wealth of details and insight:
In Bitterness And In Tears: Andrew Jackson's Destruction Of The Creeks And Seminoles by historian Sean Michael O'Brien is a definitive study of the Creek War of 1813-1814 and the First Seminole War of 1818. Closely examining history from both American and Native points of view, In Bitterness And In Tears examines in turn the civil war between Muscogee (Creek) factions that initiated the conflict; Red Sticks' massacre of over 250 whites and mixed-bloods at Fort Mims (the worst frontier massacre in U.S. history); the lethal defeat of Red Sticks seven months later; and the long-term consequences that allowed white settlers to entrench slavery and cotton farming the South while southeastern Native Americans were forcibly relocated to the West. Very highly recommended reading which offers a wealth of details and insight, In Bitterness And In Tears is an impressive contribution to American History and Native American Studies reading lists and academic reference collections.
