When McIntosh sold the Muskogee (Creek) land, he "reserved" 500+ acres for himself. The tribe had to move west on what became Hwy 166 in Georgia - the beginning of the Trail of Tears. The Muskogee were a matriarchal tribe, so even though McIntosh was the son of the chief - Creek Mary - he could not have been the chief himself. Yes, he was a traitor. The women of the tribe dragged him behind his horse until he died. They burned his plantation, but didn't kill the women or children, of course. I was told this by a Muskogee woman who was a tour guide at McIntosh Reserve.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173645622219329880noreply@blogger.com
