| | Fort McCulloch: Indian Territory |
 | | The Indian troops have been instructed, if the enemy invades the country, to harass him, and impede his progress by every possible means, and, falling back here as he advances, to assist in holding this position against him. | | | As the conscription act forbids the raising of any new bodies of troops, and as recruits for the two Texas regiments in the Indian country are not likely to be speedily obtained, the brigadier-general commanding does not expect any considerable addition to his forces from that quarter. | | | Having the right to refuse to leave their own country, the Creeks said that what Hopoeithleyohola had told them was true, and as an excuse for not going demanded to be paid off before they would march. |

| | But some Americans saw this as an excuse for a brutal and inhumane course of action, and protested loudly against removal. | | | They based this on United States policy; in former treaties, Indian nations had been declared sovereign so they would be legally capable of ceding their lands. | | | This was because their "right of occupancy" was subordinate to the United States' "right of discovery." In response to the great threat this posed, the Creeks, Cherokee, and Chicasaw instituted policies of restricting land sales to the government. |
