Title
Keeping Up a War with the United States
Description
Fulton attests to the machinations of a number of men, including Governor O' Neal and Mr. Panton, encouraging the Creeks to keep up a war with the United States. The Indians themselves say that they can ravage citizens of the U.S. and still expect to treat with them and receive presents because the citizens are so good-natured.

notable phrase
I have heard the Indians in general say it was to their interest to keep up a war with the United States
that when they committed ravages against them of ever so great a nature, they could easily hold a treaty and get large presents to be at peace, which conduct they would then repeat for the people of the United States were very good natured.
