Question

What was the motive of McIntosh when signing the Treaty of Indian Springs with the United States ?

Answer 1

He believed it was his people's best chance at avoiding bloodshed with Georgian settlers

Step-by-step explanation:

McIntosh knew that the Georgian settlers will claim their land sooner or later so he made deals with the Georgians that he will sell Creek land in exchange for money without the agreement of his people, believing it was the right thing to do but instead the other Creek who apposed being relocated killed him for his betrayal of them.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The Treaty of Indian Springs- sometimes referred to as the Second Treaty of Indian Springs- was signed in 1825. Led by Chief William McIntosh, the treaty ceded Creek lands in western Georgia to the United States government in exchange for lands west of the Mississippi River.
