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.

Vicksburg
In the Battle of Vicksburg, which was fought from March 29 to July 4, 1863, the Union army, under the command of General Ulysses S. Grant, laid siege to the city of Vicksburg, Mississippi, hoping to gain control of the Mississippi River. The Confederate army, led by General John C. Pemberton, was determined to stop them. For 47 days, the two armies fought a grinding battle of attrition, with neither side able to gain an advantage. In the end, the Union army prevailed and the city of Vicksburg surrendered. Today, the site of the battle is preserved at Vicksburg National Military Park. Visitors can see the reconstructed fortifications and trenches that were so important to the outcome of the battle.
