William McIntosh and the Treaty of Indian Springs involved several groups of people. Firstly, William McIntosh, a prominent Creek chief, played a significant role in the signing of the treaty. He was a mixed-race individual who held influence among both the Creek Nation and the white settlers. The Creek Nation, a Native American tribe, was also involved and affected by this event. The treaty impacted their land rights and territories, as it resulted in the cession of large portions of Creek lands to the United States. Additionally, the United States government, particularly the General Assembly of Georgia, was involved in the negotiations and signing of the treaty. Lastly, white settlers who were looking to expand westward and gain access to Creek lands were indirectly affected by the treaty. The signing of the treaty allowed for the settlement of these white settlers onto Creek lands, leading to conflicts and tensions between the two groups.
