TREATY OF INDIAN SPRINGS (February 12, 1825): The Creek Nation ceded to the United States all lands lying within the boundaries of the State of Georgia, as defined by the compact of April 24, 1802, between the U.S. and Georgia. In return the Creeks would receive an equal amount of land west of the Mississippi along the Arkansas River. The reservations at Indian Springs and Ocmulgee Old Town were also given up. William McIntosh signed his own death warrant when he put his name on this Second Treaty of Indian Springs in 1825. He and several more of the chiefs that signed it were assassinated for surrendering all remaining claims the Creeks had to Georgia land.
