The title places Andrew Jackson at Hickory Grounds, a Muscogee Creek town in what is now Alabama, and shows him with the Tennessee volunteers he led during the Creek War of 1813 to 1814. That conflict grew out of a civil war among the Creeks, between Red Stick factions who opposed U.S. encroachment and those who sought accommodation, and it drew in the United States while the War of 1812 was underway. Jackson's victories over the Red Sticks opened large tracts of land in Alabama and Georgia to American settlement, and they launched his national reputation as a military commander. The image's value lies in its link to a campaign that reshaped the Southeast and set up his later political career.
