Question

What happened when Chief William McIntosh signed Creek land over to the U.S. government without authority?

A He was acquitted of all charges.

B He moved to Indian Territory and built a new plantation.

C He was executed.​

Answer 1

Because McIntosh led a group that negotiated and signed the Treaty of Indian Springs in February 1825, which ceded much of remaining Creek lands to the United States in violation of Creek law, for the first time the Creek National Council ordered that a Creek be executed for crimes against the Nation.
