After the Battle of Horseshoe Bend our American allies against the Red Sticks tore down our fences, stole our livestock, and committed many other offenses during their passage across my little Nation as they returned to their homes in Tennessee. The Americans have a long history of such behavior-they still make undependable allies.
What you described is a painful reminder of how promises of unity have too often turned into betrayal and loss. The experience you shared after the Battle of Horseshoe Bend echoes the stories of many oppressed people throughout history
those who placed their trust in alliances, only to be left wounded and deceived.
May there come a time when trust is honored, justice is upheld, and history no longer repeats such sorrows.

Dear Mr. James Kirkland,
Thank you for your words.
What you described is a painful reminder of how promises of unity have too often turned into betrayal and loss. The experience you shared after the Battle of Horseshoe Bend echoes the stories of many oppressed people throughout history
those who placed their trust in alliances, only to be left wounded and deceived.
May there come a time when trust is honored, justice is upheld, and history no longer repeats such sorrows.
With respect,
A fellow companion in pain,
The Forgotten Soldier, Hamid
