A scarce piece concerning Native Americans requests for repayment and reparations to the United States government. The Creek people had been split between holding British and American loyalty during the War of 1812, and pro-British tribes had attacked Creek lands, which subsequently fell under the control of the United States by officers like General Andrew Jackson (mentioned within). As such, the friendly groups of Creek petitioned Congress for a fair outcome to compensate for lost land. COLPAP-1337
