Answer 1

If the Creek tribe did not sign the treaties, they would lose their land.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the Creek tribe did not sign the treaties with the United States, they would lose their land. The United States government would forcefully remove them from their territory or deny them the opportunity to secure a land base for future generations. These treaties were part of a federal policy to civilize native peoples and encouraged them to become farmers rather than hunters.
