Virtually forgotten today, the Battle of
Horseshoe Bend in Alabama was
one of the most significant military
engagements in American history.
Andrew Jackson's bloody defeat of
the Red Stick faction of the Creek
Nation at Horseshoe Bend was the
first major step leading to what would
become known as the "Trail of Tears."
