Ellisor's study also broadly illuminates southern society just prior to the Indian
removals, a time when many blacks, whites, and Natives lived in close proximity in
the Old Southwest. In the Creek country, also called New Alabama, these ethnic groups
began to develop a pluralistic society. When the 1830s cotton boom placed a premium
on Creek land, however, dispossession of the Natives became an economic priority.
Dispossessed and impoverished, some Creeks rose in armed revolt both to resist removal
west and to drive the oppressors from their ancient homeland. Yet the resulting Second
Creek War, which raged over three states, was fueled not only by Native determination
but also by economic competition and was intensified not least by the massive government-sponsored
land grab that constituted Indian removal. Because these circumstances also created
fissures throughout southern society, both whites and blacks found it in their best
interests to help the Creek insurgents. This first book-length examination of the
Second Creek War shows how interethnic collusion and conflict characterized southern
society during the 1830s."--BOOK JACKET.
