Treaty of Cusseta signed, ceding Creek lands in Alabama

On March 24, 1832, commissioners for the United States and leaders of the Creek Nation signed the Treaty of Cusseta, whereby the Creek ceded their remaining lands in Alabama to the U.S. in exchange for promises of land allotments and payments.

The treaty advanced the Jackson administration's Indian Removal policy by dispossessing the Creek of communal lands and setting the stage for widespread fraud, displacement, and eventual removal of Creeks from the Southeast.
