Treaty of Cusseta signed with the Creek (Muscogee) Nation

U.S. commissioners and Creek leaders signed the Treaty of Cusseta, by which the Creek ceded their remaining lands in Alabama in exchange for allotments and promises of relocation assistance.

The treaty accelerated Creek removal from the Southeast and was part of the broader Indian Removal policy that reshaped Native American landholding and U.S. settlement in the region.
