Under it, Britain was to recognize the Native Americans as subjects of the Crown, and defend them and their territory from the United States.
In the Treaty the Native Americans promised allegiance to Great Britain, which in turn accepted them as subjects of the British empire.
The hope was that Britain would provide them with protection against the United States and help them recover their land taken since 1811, which the Treaty of Ghent, ending the War of 1812, said they were to receive.
Specifically they meant the huge territory lost under the Treaty of Fort Jackson, which the Red Sticks had not signed and claimed did not apply to them.
Great Britain, having just ended the unpopular War of 1812, was not interested in further armed conflict with the United States.
