  Creek people - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The Creek National Council, led by Opothle Yohola, protested to the United States that the Treaty of Indian Springs was fraudulent.
However, the state moved to abolish tribal governments and extend state laws over the Creeks.
Opothle Yohola appealed to the administration of President Andrew Jackson for protection from Alabama; when none was forthcoming, the Treaty of Cusseta was signed on 24 March 1832, which divided up Creek lands into individual allotments.
