William McIntosh was a prominent chief of the Creek Nation. He tried to adapt to Western culture, even becoming a planter who owned slaves and owning a ferry business. McIntosh negotiated and signed a treaty giving away much of the Creek land in Georgia. This was a violation of Creek law. For his treason, he was executed in 1825.
