Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letter dated August 6, 1813 from Return J. Meigs, United States Agent to the Cherokee Indians, to Secretary of War John Armstrong, Jr. concerning the arming of the Cherokees to fight on the side of the Americans in the War of 1812 and against the Red Stick Creeks. Meigs mentions the mounting tensions in the Cherokee Nation due to the war and the Creek uprising. Some Creeks have fled to the Cherokees for safety, and Meigs is concerned about the Red Stick Creeks, who have sided with the British, influencing the Cherokees. The Cherokees, Meigs explains, are loyal to the Americans thus far and feel unsafe without military protection. After speaking with several young chiefs, Meigs believes that the best course of action would be to form Cherokee troops headed by Cherokee officers to fight on the side of the Americans.

This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The War of 1812 saw the United States wracked by political dissent and saddled with a problematic military policy. The new nation notably failed in its attempted occupation of Canada in a bid to leverage better treatment from Great Britain but in two and a half years of fighting, there were American victories and defeats, none of which decisively altered events or advanced the national agenda. In the end, the grievances listed in President Madison's war message to Congress--British harassment of American shipping, the impressment of American citizens and the instigation of hostilities by Indian tribes--were all mitigated by the time the Treaty of Ghent was signed in 1814 (mainly attributable to the fall of Napoleon). This collection of War Department correspondence gives a complete account through more than 11,000 official and unofficial letters, annotated and indexed here for the first time.

Download or read book Myth and History written by W. Jeff Bishop and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-28 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rossville and Ross' Landing and ferry grew up together in the years following the War of 1812. John Ross, a veteran of that war and future chief of the Cherokee Nation, founded commercial ventures both at the Tennessee River and along the Federal Road, just south of the river, taking full advantage of personal and professional relationships he and his father had established with merchants in the North, and most especially with the family of U.S. Indian Agent Return J. Meigs. Ross built both his home and a warehouse directly on the Federal Road, providing easy commerce to the steady streams of traffic, but there is no trace of either of these buildings at their original sites today. To find the John Ross House, one has to venture a little farther afield, to the quiet springs lurking just south of the main road. W. Jeff Bishop develops a new narrative surrounding this historic Native American home.

Download or read book The Old Federal Road in Alabama written by Kathryn H. Braund and published by University Alabama Press. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise illustrated guidebook for those wishing to explore and know more about the storied gateway that made possible Alabama's development Forged through the territory of the Creek Nation by the United States federal government, the Federal Road was developed as a communication artery linking the east coast of the United States with Louisiana. Its creation amplified already tense relationships between the government, settlers, and the Creek Nation, culminating in the devastating Creek War of 1813–1814, and thereafter it became the primary avenue of immigration for thousands of Alabama settlers. Central to understanding Alabama’s territorial and early statehood years, the Federal Road was both a physical and symbolic thoroughfare that cut a swath of shattering change through the land and cultures it traversed. The road revolutionized Alabama’s expansion, altering the course of its development by playing a significant role in sparking a cataclysmic war, facilitating unprecedented American immigration, and enabling an associated radical transformation of the land itself. The first half of The Old Federal Road in Alabama: An Illustrated Guide offers a narrative history that includes brief accounts of the construction of the road, the experiences of historic travelers, and descriptions of major changes to the road over time. The authors vividly reconstruct the course of the road in detail and make use of a wealth of well-chosen illustrations. Along the way they give attention to the very terrain it traversed, bringing to life what traveling the road must have been like and illuminating its story in a way few others have ever attempted. The second half of the volume is divided into three parts—Eastern, Central, and Southern—and serves as a modern traveler’s guide to the Federal Road. This section includes driving tours and maps, highlighting historical sites and surviving portions of the old road and how to visit them.
