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.
ADL when college kids aren't fans of genocide and regular massacres of a population where nearly half are children: real shit
And I never thought of what you brought up about the not at all talked about Romani genocide that occurred at the same time as the holocaust, against people who still are very much openly oppressed to this day, openly seen as an "acceptable target" and at risk of another extermination campaign in europe and who nobody, not even they themselves, advocate for an ethnosate let alone at the expense of other racialized or colonized peoples who played 0 role in their oppression. That makes zionism and all it's defendants more detestable. Not surprising considering even holocaust memorial orgs (most of them financed by wealthy zionists) are erasing all the non-jewish victims such as those mentioned including socialists, soviets, poles, black people etc... They don't matter since they can't be used as arguments for the expansion of western interests in the global south after all.
Nobody except white people and/or jews have ever had entire non-fringe political ideologies, right or left, defending their supposed right to commit ethnic cleansing and found an ethnostate. May it all come crashing down in our lifetime.
