American Civil War

---

The recent enfranchisement of women, most of whom voted for centre-right parties, was also a contributing factor. Events in the period following November , called the "black two years", seemed to make a civil war more likely. The rebellion had a temporary success in Asturias and Barcelona , but was over in two weeks.

He was arrested and charged with complicity in the rebellion. In the last months of , two government collapses brought members of the CEDA into the government. The Republican government acted to remove suspect generals from influential posts. Franco was sacked as chief of staff and transferred to command of the Canary Islands. Casares did nothing, failing to arrest or buy off Franco. Castillo was a Socialist party member who, among other activities, was giving military training to the UGT youth. Castillo had led the Assault Guards that violently suppressed the riots after the funeral of Guardia Civil lieutenant Anastasio de los Reyes.

Los Reyes had been shot by anarchists during the 14 April military parade commemorating the five years of the Republic. The involvement of forces of public order in the plot and a lack of punishment or action against the attackers hurt public opinion of the government. No effective action was taken, Payne points towards possible veto by socialists within the government who shielded the killers who had been drawn from their ranks.

Within hours of learning of the murder and the reaction Franco changed his mind on rebellion and dispatched a message to Mola to display his firm commitment. The Socialists and Communists, led by Indalecio Prieto , demanded that arms be distributed to the people before the military took over.

The prime minister was hesitant. The uprising's timing was fixed at 17 July, at Control over Spanish Morocco was all but certain. Little resistance was encountered. In total, the rebels shot people. They opened weapons caches, some buried since the risings. Quick action by either the rebels or anarchist militias was often enough to decide the fate of a town.

The rebels termed themselves Nacionales , normally translated "Nationalists", although the former implies "true Spaniards" rather than a nationalistic cause. The Spanish Republican Army had just 18 tanks of a sufficiently modern design, and the Nationalists took control of The war was cast by Republican sympathizers as a struggle between tyranny and freedom, and by Nationalist supporters as communist and anarchist "red hordes" versus "Christian civilization".

During the republic, anarchists had mixed opinions, but both major groups opposed the Nationalists during the Civil War. The Nationalists, in contrast, were united by their fervent opposition to the Republican government and presented a more unified front. The coup divided the armed forces fairly evenly. One historical estimate suggests that there were some 87, troops loyal to the government and some 77, joining the insurgency, [95] though some historians suggest that the Nationalist figure should be revised upwards and that it probably amounted to some 95, During the first few months both armies were joined in high numbers by volunteers, Nationalists by some , men and Republicans by some , The result was that in April there were some , soldiers in the Republican ranks and some , in the Nationalist ones.

The armies kept growing. The principal source of manpower was conscription; both sides continued and expanded their schemes, the Nationalists drafting somewhat more aggressively, and there was little room left for volunteering. Foreigners contributed little to further growth; on the Nationalist side the Italians scaled down their engagement, while on the Republican side the influx of new interbrigadistas did not cover losses suffered by these units on the front. Throughout the principal if not exclusive source of new men was a draft; at this stage it was the Republicans who conscripted more aggressively.

In the middle of the year, just prior to the Battle of Ebro, the Republicans achieved their all-time high, commanding an army of slightly above ,; this was already no match for the Nationalists, who numbered , In late February their army was , [] compared to more than double that number of Nationalists. In the moment of their final victory, the latter commanded over , troops. The total number of Spaniards serving in the Republican forces was officially stated as ,; later scholarly work estimated the number as "well over 1 million men", [] though earlier studies claimed a Republican total of 1.

Only two countries openly and fully supported the Republic: Mexico and the USSR. From them, especially the USSR, the Republic received diplomatic support, volunteers, and the ability to purchase weapons. Other countries remained neutral, this neutrality faced serious opposition from the intelligentsia in the United States and United Kingdom, and to a lesser extent in other European countries and Marxists worldwide.

This led to formation of the International Brigades , thousands of foreigners of all nationalities who voluntarily went to Spain to aid the Republic in the fight; they meant a great deal to morale but militarily were not very significant. The Republic's supporters within Spain ranged from centrists who supported a moderately-capitalist liberal democracy to revolutionary anarchists who opposed the Republic but sided with it against the coup forces.

Their base was primarily secular and urban but also included landless peasants and was particularly strong in industrial regions like Asturias , the Basque country, and Catalonia. The conservative, strongly Catholic Basque country, along with Catholic Galicia and the more left-leaning Catalonia, sought autonomy or independence from the central government of Madrid.

A few well-known people fought on the Republican side, such as English novelist George Orwell who wrote Homage to Catalonia , an account of his experiences in the war [] and Canadian thoracic surgeon Norman Bethune , who developed a mobile blood-transfusion service for front-line operations. By the account of her biographer Simone Petrement, Weil was evacuated from the front after a matter of weeks because of an injury sustained in a cooking accident. The Nacionales or Nationalists—also called "insurgents", "rebels", or, by opponents, Franquistas or "fascists" see: They were chiefly defined by their anti-communism , which galvanized diverse or opposed movements like falangists and monarchists.

Their leaders had a generally wealthier, more conservative, monarchist, landowning background. The Nationalist side included the Carlists and Alfonsists , Spanish nationalists, the fascist Falange, and most conservatives and monarchist liberals. Virtually all Nationalist groups had strong Catholic convictions and supported the native Spanish clergy. One of the rightists' principal motives was to confront the anti-clericalism of the Republican regime and to defend the Catholic Church , [] which had been targeted by opponents, including Republicans, who blamed the institution for the country's ills.

The Church was against the Republicans' liberal principles, which were fortified by the Spanish Constitution of Franco had brought in the mercenaries of Spain's colonial Army of Africa Spanish: The Spanish Legion committed atrocities—many men, women and children were killed, and the army carried out summary executions of leftists.

The repression in the aftermath was brutal. In Asturias, prisoners were tortured. Articles 24 and 26 of the constitution had banned the Society of Jesus. This proscription deeply offended many within the conservative fold. The revolution in the Republican zone at the outset of the war, in which 7, clergy and thousands of lay people were killed, deepened Catholic support for the Nationalists. Catalan and Basque nationalists were not univocal.

Left-wing Catalan nationalists sided with the Republicans, while Conservative Catalan nationalists were far less vocal in supporting the government due to anti- clericalism and confiscations occurring in areas within its control.

War of 1812

Basque nationalists , heralded by the conservative Basque Nationalist Party , were mildly supportive of the Republican government, although some in Navarre sided with the uprising for the same reasons influencing conservative Catalans. Notwithstanding religious matters, Basque nationalists, who were for the most part Catholic, generally sided with the Republicans, although the PNV, Basque nationalist party, was reported passing the plans of Bilbao defenses to the nationalists, in an attempt to reduce the duration and casualties of siege.

The Spanish Civil War exposed political divisions across Europe. The right and the Catholics supported the Nationalists as a way to stop the expansion of Bolshevism. On the left, including labor unions, students and intellectuals, the war represented a necessary battle to stop the spread of fascism. Anti-war and pacifist sentiment was strong in many countries, leading to warnings that the Civil War had the potential of escalating into a second world war. The Spanish Civil War involved large numbers of non-Spanish citizens who participated in combat and advisory positions.

Britain and France led a political alliance of 27 nations that promised non-intervention in the Spanish Civil War , including an embargo on all arms to Spain. The United States unofficially went along. Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union signed on officially, but ignored the embargo.

The attempted suppression of imported material was largely ineffective, however, and France especially was accused of allowing large shipments to Republican troops. The League of Nations ' reaction to the war was influenced by a fear of communism, [] and was insufficient to contain the massive importation of arms and other war resources by the fighting factions. Although a Non-Intervention Committee was formed, its policies accomplished little and its directives were ineffective. German involvement began days after fighting broke out in July Adolf Hitler quickly sent in powerful air and armored units to assist the Nationalists.

The war provided combat experience with the latest technology for the German military. However, the intervention also posed the risk of escalating into a world war for which Hitler was not ready. He therefore limited his aid, and instead encouraged Benito Mussolini to send in large Italian units. Nazi Germany 's actions included the formation of the multitasking Condor Legion , a unit composed of volunteers from the Luftwaffe and the German Army Heer from July to March The Condor Legion proved to be especially useful in the Battle of the Toledo.

Germany moved the Army of Africa to mainland Spain in the war's early stages. German involvement was further manifested through undertakings such as Operation Ursula , a U-boat undertaking, and contributions from the Kriegsmarine. The Legion spearheaded many Nationalist victories, particularly in aerial combat, [] while Spain further provided a proving ground for German tank tactics. The training which German units provided to the Nationalist forces would prove valuable.

By the War's end, perhaps 56, Nationalist soldiers, encompassing infantry, artillery, aerial and naval forces, had been trained by German detachments. A total of approximately 16, German citizens fought in the war, with approximately killed, [] though no more than 10, participated at any one time. Regia Marina played a substantial role in the Mediterranean blockade, and ultimately Italy supplied machine guns, artillery, aircraft, tankettes , the Aviazione Legionaria , and the Corpo Truppe Volontarie CTV to the Nationalist cause.

The Conservative government of the UK maintained a position of strong neutrality and was supported by elites and the media, while the left mobilized aid to the Republic. It was theoretically a crime to volunteer to fight in Spain, but about 4, went anyway. Intellectuals strongly favoured the Republicans. Many visited Spain, hoping to find authentic anti-fascism. They had little impact on the government, and could not shake the strong public mood for peace. It officially endorsed the boycott and expelled a faction that demanded support for the Republican cause; but it finally voiced some support to Loyalists.

Despite the Irish government's prohibition against participating in the war, around Irishmen, followers of the Irish political activist and co-founder of the recently created political party of Fine Gael unofficially called "The Blue Shirts" , Eoin O'Duffy, known as the "Irish Brigade" , went to Spain to fight alongside Franco. Many non-Spaniards, often affiliated with radical communist or socialist entities, joined the International Brigades , believing that the Spanish Republic was a front line in the war against fascism.

The units represented the largest foreign contingent of those fighting for the Republicans. Roughly 40, foreign nationals fought with the Brigades, though no more than 18, were in the conflict at any given time. They claimed to represent 53 nations. Some Chinese joined the Brigades; the majority of them eventually returned to China, but some went to prison or to French refugee camps, and a handful remained in Spain.

Though General Secretary Joseph Stalin had signed the Non-Intervention Agreement , the Soviet Union contravened the League of Nations embargo by providing material assistance to the Republican forces, becoming their only source of major weapons. Unlike Hitler and Mussolini, Stalin tried to do this covertly. Despite Stalin's interest in aiding the Republicans, the quality of arms was inconsistent. The process of shipping arms from Russia to Spain was extremely slow. Many shipments were lost or arrived only partially matching what had been authorized.

The USSR sent 2,—3, military advisers to Spain; while the Soviet commitment of troops was fewer than men at a time, Soviet volunteers often operated Soviet-made tanks and aircraft, particularly at the beginning of the war. The Republic paid for Soviet arms with official Bank of Spain gold reserves, tonnes of which was transferred through France and directly to Russia, [] which was called Moscow gold. Also, the Soviet Union directed Communist parties around the world to organize and recruit the International Brigades.

Mexico's most important contributions to the Spanish Republic was its diplomatic help, as well as the sanctuary the nation arranged for Republican refugees, including Spanish intellectuals and orphaned children from Republican families. Fearing it might spark a civil war inside France, the leftist "Popular Front" government in France did not send direct support to the Republicans.

We have not done so, in order not to give an excuse to those who would be tempted to send arms to the rebels [Nationalists]. On 1 August a pro-Republican rally of 20, people confronted Blum, demanding that he send aircraft to the Republicans, at the same time as right-wing politicians attacked Blum for supporting the Republic and being responsible for provoking Italian intervention on the side of Franco.

His novel L'Espoir and the film version he produced and directed Espoir: Sierra de Teruel were a great help for the Republican cause in France.

Even after covert support by France to the Republicans ended in December , the possibility of French intervention against the Nationalists remained a serious possibility throughout the war. German intelligence reported to Franco and the Nationalists that the French military was engaging in open discussions about intervention in the war through French military intervention in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands.

A large air and sealift of Nationalist troops in Spanish Morocco was organized to the southwest of Spain. The capture of Gipuzkoa isolated the Republican provinces in the north. The Republic proved ineffective militarily, relying on disorganized revolutionary militia. The Republican government under Giral resigned on 4 September, unable to cope with the situation, and was replaced by a mostly Socialist organization under Francisco Largo Caballero. Moroccans and elements of the Spanish Legion came to the rescue.

A similar dramatic success for the Nationalists occurred on 17 October, when troops coming from Galicia relieved the besieged town of Oviedo , in Northern Spain. In October, the Francoist troops launched a major offensive toward Madrid, [] reaching it in early November and launching a major assault on the city on 8 November. A contributory factor in the successful Republican defense was the effectiveness of the Fifth Regiment [] and later the arrival of the International Brigades, though only an approximate 3, foreign volunteers participated in the battle.

The Second Battle of the Corunna Road , a Nationalist offensive to the northwest, pushed Republican forces back, but failed to isolate Madrid. The battle lasted into January. With his ranks swelled by Italian troops and Spanish colonial soldiers from Morocco, Franco made another attempt to capture Madrid in January and February , but was again unsuccessful.

The city was taken by Franco on 8 February. The operation's main objective was not met, though Nationalists gained a modest amount of territory.

A similar Nationalist offensive, the Battle of Guadalajara , was a more significant defeat for Franco and his armies. This was the only publicised Republican victory of the war. Franco used Italian troops and blitzkrieg tactics; while many strategists blamed Franco for the rightists' defeat, the Germans believed it was the former at fault for the Nationalists' 5, casualties and loss of valuable equipment.

The destruction had a significant effect on international opinion. The disturbance pleased Nationalist command, but little was done to exploit Republican divisions. In July, it made a move to recapture Segovia , forcing Franco to delay his advance on the Bilbao front, but for only two weeks. A similar Republican attack, the Huesca Offensive , failed similarly. Mola, Franco's second-in-command, was killed on 3 June, in an airplane accident.

The Battle of Brunete , however, was a significant defeat for the Republic, which lost many of its most accomplished troops. A Republican offensive against Zaragoza was also a failure. Despite having land and aerial advantages, the Battle of Belchite , a place lacking any military interest, resulted in an advance of only 10 kilometres 6. At November's end, with Franco's troops closing in on Valencia, the government had to move again, this time to Barcelona.

The Battle of Teruel was an important confrontation. The city, which had formerly belonged to the Nationalists, was conquered by Republicans in January. The Francoist troops launched an offensive and recovered the city by 22 February, but Franco was forced to rely heavily on German and Italian air support. On 7 March, Nationalists launched the Aragon Offensive , and by 14 April they had pushed through to the Mediterranean, cutting the Republican-held portion of Spain in two.

The Republican government attempted to sue for peace in May, [] but Franco demanded unconditional surrender, and the war raged on. In July, the Nationalist army pressed southward from Teruel and south along the coast toward the capital of the Republic at Valencia, but was halted in heavy fighting along the XYZ Line , a system of fortifications defending Valencia. The Republican government then launched an all-out campaign to reconnect their territory in the Battle of the Ebro , from 24 July until 26 November, where Franco personally took command. The agreement with Britain effectively destroyed Republican morale by ending hope of an anti-fascist alliance with Western powers.

You know, if you say you're for equal pay for equal work, but you keep refusing to say whether or not you'd sign a bill that protects equal pay for equal work , you might have Romnesia. If you say women should have access to contraceptive care, but you support legislation that would let your employer deny you contraceptive care, you might have a case of Romnesia. If you say you'll protect a woman's right to choose, but you stand up in a primary debate and say that you'd be delighted to sign a law outlying — outlawing that right to choose in all cases — man, you definitely got Romnesia.

Now, this extends to other issues. If you say that you're a champion of the coal industry when, while you were governor, you stood in front of a coal plant and said "This plant will kill you" —[audience: And if you come down with a case of Romnesia and you can't seem to remember the policies that are still on your website, or the promises you've made over the six years you've been running for President, here's the good news: Obamacare covers pre-existing conditions. We can fix you up.. We've got a cure. We can make you well, Virginia. This is a curable disease.

But we would do well to recall that day itself also belonged to those ordinary people whose names never appeared in the history books, never got on TV. Many had gone to segregated schools and sat at segregated lunch counters. They had seen loved ones beaten, and children fire-hosed, and they had every reason to lash out in anger, or resign themselves to a bitter fate. And yet they chose a different path. In the face of hatred, they prayed for their tormentors. In the face of violence, they stood up and sat in, with the moral force of nonviolence. Willingly, they went to jail to protest unjust laws, their cells swelling with the sound of freedom songs.

A lifetime of indignities had taught them that no man can take away the dignity and grace that God grants us. They had learned through hard experience what Frederick Douglass once taught -- that freedom is not given, it must be won, through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith. Everyone who realizes what those glorious patriots knew on that day -- that change does not come from Washington, but to Washington ; that change has always been built on our willingness, We The People , to take on the mantle of citizenship -- you are marching.

That's the promise of tomorrow -- that in the face of impossible odds, people who love their country can change it. No longer questioning the need for a strong Navy, the U. Navy became the heroes of their generation in the U. Several war heroes used their fame to win election to national office. Andrew Jackson and William Henry Harrison both took advantage of their military successes to win the presidency, while Richard Mentor Johnson used his wartime exploits to help attain the vice presidency.

During the war, New England states became increasingly frustrated over how the war was being conducted and how the conflict was affecting them. They complained that the U. The increased taxes, the British blockade, and the occupation of some of New England by enemy forces also agitated public opinion in the states. They did not call for secession but word of the angry anti-war resolutions appeared at the same time that peace was announced and the victory at New Orleans was known. The upshot was that the Federalists were permanently discredited and quickly disappeared as a major political force.

This war enabled thousands of slaves to escape to British lines or ships for freedom, despite the difficulties. The planters' complacency about slave contentment was shocked by their seeing slaves, who risked so much to be free. After the decisive defeat of the Creek Indians at the battle of Horseshoe Bend in , some Indian warriors escaped to join the Seminoles in Florida.

The remaining Creek chiefs signed away about half their lands, comprising 23,, acres, covering much of southern Georgia and two thirds of modern Alabama. The Creeks were now separated from any future help from the Spanish in Florida, or from the Choctaw and Chickasaw to the west. During the war the United States seized Mobile, Alabama, which was a strategic location providing oceanic outlet to the cotton lands to the north.

Jackson invaded Florida in , demonstrating to Spain that it could no longer control that territory with a small force. Thus indirectly the War of brought about the acquisition of Florida To both the Northwest and the South, therefore, the War of brought substantial benefits. It broke the power of the Creek Confederacy and opened to settlement a great province of the future Cotton Kingdom. During the 19th century the popular image of the war in the United States was of an American victory, and in Canada, of a Canadian victory.

Each young country saw its self-perceived victory as an important foundation of its growing nationhood. The British, on the other hand, who had been preoccupied by Napoleon's challenge in Europe, paid little attention to what was to them a peripheral and secondary dispute, a distraction from the principal task at hand. Today, American popular memory includes the British capture and the burning of Washington in August , [] which necessitated its extensive renovation.

The fact that before the war, many Americans wanted to annex British North America, was swiftly forgotten, and instead American popular memory focused on the victories at Baltimore, Plattsburg and New Orleans to present the war as a successful effort to assert American national honour, the "second war of independence" that saw the mighty British empire humbled and humiliated.

Another memory is the successful American defence of Fort McHenry in September , which inspired the lyrics of the U. Navy became popular heroes with plates with the likeness of Decatur, Issac Hull, Charles Stewart , and others becoming popular items. Ironically, many were made in England. The navy became a cherished institution, lauded for the victories that it won against all odds. Marines had acquired a well-deserved reputation as excellent marksmen, especially in ship-to-ship actions. In British North America, the War of was seen by Loyalists as a victory, as they had claimed they had successfully defended their country from an American takeover.

A long-term consequence of the Canadian militia's success was the view widely held in Canada at least until the First World War that Canada did not need a regular professional army. Army had done poorly, on the whole, in several attempts to invade Canada, and the Canadians had fought bravely to defend their territory.

But the British did not doubt that the thinly populated territory would remain vulnerable in a third war. By the 21st century it was a forgotten war in Britain, [] although still remembered in Canada, especially Ontario. Historians have differing and complex interpretations of the war. Neither side wanted to continue fighting since the main causes had disappeared and since there were no large lost territories for one side or the other to reclaim by force.

Insofar as they see the war's resolution as allowing two centuries of peaceful and mutually beneficial intercourse between the U. These writers often add that the war could have been avoided in the first place by better diplomacy. It is seen as a mistake for everyone concerned because it was badly planned and marked by multiple fiascoes and failures on both sides, as shown especially by the repeated American failures to seize parts of Canada, and the failed British attack on New Orleans and upstate New York.

However, other scholars hold that the war constituted a British victory and an American defeat. They argue that the British achieved their military objectives in by stopping the repeated American invasions of Canada and retaining their Canadian colonies. By contrast, they say, the Americans suffered a defeat when their armies failed to achieve their war goal of seizing part or all of Canada.

Additionally, they argue the U. Even tied down by ongoing wars with Napoleonic France, the British had enough capable officers, well-trained men, and equipment to easily defeat a series of American invasions of Canada. In fact, in the opening salvos of the war, the American forces invading Upper Canada were pushed so far back that they ended up surrendering Michigan Territory.

The difference between the two navies was even greater. While the Americans famously shockingly for contemporaries on both sides of the Atlantic bested British ships in some one-on-one actions at the war's start, the Royal Navy held supremacy throughout the war, blockading the U. Yet in late , the British offered surprisingly generous peace terms despite having amassed a large invasion force of veteran troops in Canada, naval supremacy in the Atlantic, an opponent that was effectively bankrupt, and an open secessionist movement in New England.

He considers that the British offered the United States generous terms, in place of their initially harsh terms which included massive forfeiture of land to Canada and the American Indians , because the "reigning Liverpool ministry in Britain held a loose grip on power and feared the war-weary, tax-exhausted public". The war was also technically a British victory "because the United States failed to achieve the aims listed in its declaration of war". A second minority view is that both the U. Risjord argues that the main motivation was restoring the nation's honour in the face of relentless British Aggression toward American neutral rights on the high seas, and in the Western lands.

The results in terms of honour satisfied the War Hawks. Most Republicans thought it did. In the beginning they called the contest a "second war of independence", and while Britain's maritime practices never truly threatened the Republic's independence, the war did in a broad sense vindicate U.

But it ended in a draw on the battlefield. The lessons of the war were taken to heart. Anti-American feeling in Great Britain ran high for several years, but the United States were never again refused proper treatment as an independent power. American naval historian George C. Daughan argues that the US achieved enough of its war goals to claim a victorious result of the conflict, and subsequent impact it had on the negotiations in Ghent. Daughan uses official correspondences from President Madison to the delegates at Ghent strictly prohibiting negotiations with regards to maritime law, stating: Madison's latest dispatches [arrived July 25—27, ] permitted them [the delegates] to simply ignore the entire question of maritime rights.

Free trade with liberated Europe had already been restored, and the Admiralty no longer needed impressment to man its warships. The president felt that with Europe at peace the issues of neutral trading rights and impressment could safely be set aside in the interests of obtaining peace Thus, from the start of the negotiations, the disagreements that started the war and sustained it were acknowledged by both parties to be no longer important.

The British permanently stopped impressing Americans, although they never publicly rescinding the possibility of resuming that practice. The US delegates at the meeting understood it to be a dead issue after the surrender of Napoleon. Henry Clay wrote to the delegates in October , "for in our own country, my dear sir, at last must we conquer the peace. You have not been able to carry Why Stipulate for uti possidetis? He cites the Edinburgh Review , a British newspaper who had remained silent about the war with America for two years wrote "the British government had embarked on a war of conquest, after the American government had dropped its maritime demands, and the British had lost.

It was folly to attempt to invade and conquer the United States. To do so would result in the same tragedy as the first war against them, and with the same result. Historians have different views on who won the War of , and there is an element of national bias to this. Only US historians follow the minority view that the US was the victorious party in the war. Historians generally agree that the real losers of the War of were the Indians called First Nations in Canada. The big losers in the war were the Indians. As a proportion of their population, they had suffered the heaviest casualties.

Worse, they were left without any reliable European allies in North America The crushing defeats at the Thames and Horseshoe Bend left them at the mercy of the Americans, hastening their confinement to reservations and the decline of their traditional way of life. Throughout the war the British had played on terror of the tomahawks and scalping knives of their Indian allies; it worked especially at Hull's surrender at Detroit. By Americans had killed Tecumseh and broken his coalition of tribes. Jackson then defeated the Creek in the Southwest.

Historian John Sugden notes that in both theaters, the Indians' strength had been broken prior to the arrival of the major British forces in Notwithstanding the sympathy and support from commanders such as Brock, [] Cochrane and Nicolls , the policymakers in London reneged in assisting the Indians, as making peace was a higher priority for the politicians. At the peace conference the British demanded an independent Indian state in the Midwest, but, although the British and their Indian allies maintained control over the territories in question i. The withdrawal of British protection gave the Americans a free hand, which resulted in the removal of most of the tribes to Indian Territory present-day Oklahoma.

The Treaty of Ghent technically required the United States to cease hostilities and "forthwith to restore to such Tribes or Nations respectively all possessions, rights and privileges which they may have enjoyed, or been entitled to in "; the United States ignored this article of the treaty and proceeded to expand into this territory regardless; Britain was unwilling to provoke further war to enforce it.

A shocked Henry Goulburn , one of the British negotiators at Ghent, remarked:. Till I came here, I had no idea of the fixed determination which there is in the heart of every American to extirpate the Indians and appropriate their territory. About half of the Creek territory was ceded to the United States, with no payment made to the Creeks.

This was, in theory, invalidated by Article 9 of the Treaty of Ghent. Without this support, the Indians' lack of power was apparent and the stage was set for further incursions of territory by the United States in subsequent decades.
