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

I've been saying this, and honestly, truthfully, what might be a hot take (at least with most of the left-wing cracKKKers I interact with, though I've seen more nuance on this from some fellow POC) is that I actually do not trust misandry.

Of course, it's not me saying it's "as bad as misogyny" or validating the woes of incels who want to deny that society is patriarchal.

But ISTG, every time I see a white (cis) woman talk about how "evil" men are, I do not assume she is just some "girlboss" who is innocuously punching up at her oppressors. I believe she is most likely a transphobic, racist bioessentialist who'd never acknowledge the dangerous power that she has over men of color, especially since it is the rule, not the exception, for white women to have a very self-centered approach to injustice and only care about oppression that personally affects them.

    And there is actual discrimination involved in this, the bigotry against immigrant men who are the main target of right wing propaganda especially in Europe, it paints Arab and African men specifically as "SA"ers and thieves and is used to justify hate crimes. There's the fact that even human right organizations use "women and children" to refer to civilians in wars against third world countries, as if to say "it's okay to kill Iranian, Palestinian, Lebanese, Yemeni and all other browns if they are men". POC men also face gender specific fetishisation.
