Following the American Revolution, England ceded territories in the south to Spain, including West Florida, while the U.S. was granted rights to navigate the Mississippi River. However, Spain occupied lands included in the new American boundaries, fostering tension.

The Creeks sought protection from Spain and engaged in diplomacy to safeguard their hunting grounds against encroachments by settlers.
