I watched the History Channel's narrative of the Red Stick War in its biography of Andrew Jackson. Notably absent from that program was the fact that in 1798 an attempt was made by Gen. Benjamin Lincoln to enter into a treaty with the Creek People. As I understand it the Creeks refused to treaty with Gen. Lincoln. I have not made any changes to the article, but this piece of history is usually lost in the discussion about the Red Stick War. Is it fair to ask whether the sufferings of the Creeks would have been minimized if they had not squandered the treaty opportunity in 1798?
