The Treaty of Fort Jackson (also known as the Treaty with the Creeks) was signed on this day in 1814 at Fort Jackson in Alabama. The treaty was agreed upon in the aftermath of the defeat of Red Stick (Upper Creek) resistance by U.S. forces at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend.

The treaty was the "largest single Indian cession of southern American land", according to historian Michael Rogin - around 23 million acres in Alabama and Georgia. The U.S. forces won with the battle with the help of allied Cherokee and Lower Creek forces friendly to the American side.

The terms of various treaties with the Creek nation would go on to be consistently violated by Americans colonizing the south.

I hope you nerds have a good month of August cuddle

Saw this white dude comment on a Black man's post where he's venting about white people: "Blame it all on capitalism"

I told him to STFU, and he responded, "I think you might be a little confused. Capitalism is the reason why race exists as a social construct, so don't claim to be an anti-capitalist if you can't represent it."

This fucking clown-ass h0nky seems to think this is esoteric knowledge and that the only reason why people are pushing back against his "well ackchyually, the problem is capitalism" class reductionist BS is simply because they're not educated on race and capitalism. No, you bozo, of course I know how capitalism and racism are connected. This is fundamental knowledge, but I don't need you deflecting, you fucking clown-ass cracker. GTFO.
