I chose the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. 2. Why did you choose this person or event? What makes it significant to the State of Alabama? I chose this event because it is an important part of Alabama history and is considered part of the War of 1812. It is significant because it effectively ended the Creek War. 3. What types of symbolism might you use in your design? I might use muskets, arrows, feathers, or a horseshoe.



Welcome to my page!! The topic my project will be on is Battle of Horseshoe Bend. That was a battle fought between the Creek Native Americans and U.S. Forces. The battle was fought on March 27, 1814, and ended the Creek War. The battle was fought near Dadeville, Alabama, and it is now a national military park. More information about Horseshoe Bend can be found here.

My project and symbolism: My project will consist of a "horseshoe" (real ones are too small.) The arc of the horseshoe represents the "Life Circle" that wasn't finished by many at Horseshoe Bend. The horseshoe, of course, represents the river that the battle was by and the battle was named after.
