San Juan Island NHP
San Juan Island National Historical Park is located on San Juan Island in Puget Sound. The islands are divided between US and Canadian Territories, and were the site of an infamous dispute between the British and Americans who both laid claim to San Juan Island. The islands were settled more than 11,000 years ago, and the original inhabitants were ancestors of the Coast Salish tribes. Today the park commemorates the history of the islands, and preserves 2,000 acres and one of the last known habitats of the island marble butterfly and rare open prairie land. The main feature of the park are the British and U.S. Army camps during the Pig War, a boundary dispute over the ownership of the island in the mid 1800s.

Horseshoe Bend
Horseshoe Bend National Military Park is the site of the last battle of the Creek War on March 27, 1814. General Andrew Jackson's Tennessee militia, aided by the 39th U.S. Infantry Regiment and Cherokee and Lower Creek allies, won a decisive victory against the Upper Creek Red Stick Nation during the Battle of Horseshoe Bend at this site on the Tallapoosa River. Jackson's decisive victory at Horseshoe Bend broke the power of the Upper Creeks and opened up new territory in Alabama and Georgia for white settlement. On August 9, 1814, the Creeks signed the Treaty of Fort Jackson, which ceded 23 million acres of land in Alabama and Georgia to the United States government.
