They sought to preserve traditional Creek ways of life and resist American expansion. The [[creek_war|Creek War]] of 1813–1814 began as a civil war within the confederacy. The Red Sticks’ attack on [[Fort Mims]] in August 1813 widened the conflict and brought a larger U.S. military response. | + | The Red Sticks were a faction of the Muscogee ([[creektribe|Creek]]) Confederacy drawn mainly from Upper Creek towns in what is now Alabama.
