The Indians May Be Led, but Will Not Be Drove the Creek Nation's Struggle for Control

“THE INDIANS MAY BE LED,BUT WILL NOT BE DROVE” THE CREEK INDIANS STRUGGLE FOR CONTROL OF ITS OWN DESTINY, 1783-1794 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science By William David Cummings In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Major Department: History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies March 2016 Fargo, North Dakota North Dakota State University Graduate School Title “THE INDIANS MAY BE LED,BUT WILL NOT BE DROVE” THE CREEK INDIANS STRUGGLE FOR CONTROL OF ITS OWN DESTINY, 1783-1794 By William David Cummings The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Thomas D. Isern Chair John Cox Mark Harvey Jo Ann Miller William Caraher Approved: March 30, 2016 John Cox Date Department Chair ABSTRACT History tends to portray the interactions between Euro-American settlers and native Indian Nations as one in which Euro-American settlers imposed dominance on the Indians. This work takes an in-depth look at the relationship between the Creek Nation and the Euro-American settlers of Georgia in the early years of the American republic and shows the Creeks in control of their own destiny, as well as the destiny of Georgia and the young republic. The core argument is that the nature of the Creek nation allowed them to maintain autonomy while affecting the physical development of the United States From Massachusetts to Carolina various Native American nations had tried to fend off Euro-American expansion but were forced off their land in short order.

George Washington Grayson and the Creek Nation, 1843- 1920

GEORGE WASHINGTON GRAYSON AND THE CREEK NATION, 1843-1920 By MARY JANE WARDE Bachelor of Arts University of Tennessee Martin, Tennessee 1966 Master of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1981 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May, 1991 The5i5 \q'1\~ 'N~~o~ Co?.:i C 0 P Y R I G H T by MARY JANE WARDE 1991 GEORGE WASHINGTON GRAYSON AND THE CREEK NATION, 1843-1920 Thesis Approved: Thesis Adviser Dean of the Graduate College ii 1402228 PREFACE George Washington Grayson is a rare historical figure in that he was a well-educated, articulate, and sophisticated Indian. He left us a wealth of documents through which to see his world as he saw it. He participated in almost every event affecting the Creek Nation during critical periods of its existence: the aftermath of the traumatic Removal, the Civil War, Reconstruction, the economic development of the Indian Territory, the dissolution of the Five Civilized Tribes, and the early statehood period of Oklahoma. As a perpetual member of the Creek national government and its representative to the Federal Government, he understood the unequal relationship between the two. He did all he could through both his private and public life to defend Creek self government and the Creek landbase. Grayson was one of many mixed-blood Creeks, several as well educated and as politically astute as he. Like them, he bridged the two cultures. Living very much in the white style as a businessman and newspaper publisher, he still saw himself and them as Creek.
