In the summer of 1790, twenty-seven chiefs from the major tribes of the creek nation marched into New York City with one main purpose: to negotiate a peace treaty that would grant the Creek Nation the land they inherently deserved and to end the bloody war on the Southwestern Frontier. Seemingly leading the chiefs to New York City was the Native American version of George Washington, and his name was Alexander McGillivray. The McGillivray Moment was a point in time that we know very little about, for the official negotiations between the Creek Chiefs and our then loose federal government was oddly never recorded, so we can only speculate the topics they covered and their reactions to them by reviewing their final documents and papers.

The election of 1800 was one of, if not, the most mysterious and most exciting presidential elections in the history of the United States. The election was a great clash of powers between the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans who believed the winner could possibly set the path of America’s government, possibly forever. The Democratic-Republicans believed if the federalists won they would destroy the republic, and get rid of liberty that the American people fought for n the American Revolution. Federalists, months before the election, tried to implement the Alien and sedition Acts which were a series of four laws, one of them making sedition and libel of the governed a crime. The acts, along with the direct tax of 1798, and a military the federalists were building up, according to the textbook Liberty, equality, power, were not popular with the people with the people and worked in the favor of the Democratic-Republicans.…
