安德鲁杰克森和他的妻子瑞秋(Rachel)、在一场对抗克里克族的战役中、领养了一位克里克族印地安男孩作为养子,他们对他非常好,但在其他方面来说,杰克森对待美洲印地安人的方式却相当残暴、具毁灭性。这段历史开始于1813年,杰克森带领民兵对抗克里克族印地安人,英国军队找来克里克族以及其他种族的美洲印地安人帮助他们、在1812年的战争中袭击南方边境。为什么杰克森会立即出兵对抗克里克族印地安人?

Andrew Jackson and his wife, Rachel, adopted and raised a Creek Indian boy orphaned from one of Jackson's own military campaigns against the Creeks. They treated him kindly.
