The US Army (Andrew Jackson) Won!

3 Results: 1. Brought an end to the Creek nation's power east of the Mississippi River. 2. It made Jackson famous. 3. It started the process under which the state of Alabama was created.

Tennessee was able to purchase West Tennessee (known as the Jackson Purchase). Andrew Jackson, James Winchester, and James Overton thought they could make money by creating a new town on the Mississippi River. They named it MEMPHIS (from Ancient Egypt).
