Tuckabutchee

Tuckabutchee was an Upper Creek town on the Tallapoosa River in present-day Alabama and one of the four mother towns of the Muscogee Confederacy. It was home to Big Warrior, a principal Creek chief.

In 1811 Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa addressed Creek leaders in the town square, seeking support against American expansion. During the Creek War in 1813, Red Stick rebels besieged Tuckabutchee; warriors from Cusseta came to its aid. The war ended in 1814 with the Treaty of Fort Jackson and a vast Muscogee land cession.
