Andrew Jackson attacked the Red Stick Creeks here with 3300 men and cannon in late March of 1814. The Creeks fielded 1000 warriors but to no avail. About 800 of the defenders died here. This is where the Creek wars ended. The cannon is unusual for the color of its carriage, a light blue. After the Revolution the Americans adopted the French color for the artillery but it ended soon after this battle.
