The Spaniards in Alabama and Mississippi

History of Alabama and incidentally of Georgia and Mississippi, from the earliest period

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. Amidst escalating conflicts over land and treaties, particularly involving Colonel McGillivray and the Creek Nation, the Georgians attempted to secure these territories, which led to significant disputes. The Creeks sought protection from Spain and engaged in diplomacy to safeguard their hunting grounds against encroachments by settlers.
