United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Berrien, John MacPherson, 1781-18561826-04-22This letter from John Macpherson Berrien, U.S. Senator from Georgia, to George Troup, Governor of Georgia (1823-1827), is dated April 22, 1826. Berrien reports to Troup on the Senate's proclamation of the Treaty of Washington, D.C. with the Creek Indians (signed January 24, 1826), which nullified the Treaty of Indian Springs (February 12, 1825). Berrien indicates his dissatisfaction with the nullification of the Indian Springs treaty, which had ceded all remaining Creek lands in Georgia, and asserts that it was unnecessary to void the treaty. He complains that the new treaty does not contain sufficient provisions for the McIntosh party (those Creeks associated with William McIntosh, who was executed for having signed the Indian Springs treaty) nor inducements for emigration.
