The Muscogee are descendants of the Mississippian culture peoples, who built earthwork mounds at their regional chiefdoms located throughout the Mississippi River valley and its tributaries. The historian Walter L. Williams and others believe the early Spanish explorers encountered ancestors of the Muscogee when they visited Mississippian-culture chiefdoms in the Southeast in the mid-16th century.
The Muscogee were the first Native Americans considered to be "civilized" under George Washington's civilization plan. In the 19th century, the Muscogee were known as one of the "Five Civilized Tribes", because they had integrated numerous cultural and technological practices of their more recent European American neighbors. Influenced by their prophetic interpretations of the 1811 comet and earthquake, the Upper Towns of the Muscogee, supported by the Shawnee leader Tecumseh, began to resist European-American encroachment. Internal divisions with the Lower Towns led to the Red Stick War (Creek War, 1813–1814); begun as a civil war within the Muscogee Nation, it enmeshed the Northern Creek Bands in the War of 1812 against the United States while the Southern Creeks remained US allies. General Andrew Jackson then seized the opportunity to use the rebellion as an excuse to make war against all Creeks once the northern Creek rebellion had been put down with the aid of southern Creeks. The result was a weakening of the Creek Nation and the forced ceding of Creek lands to the US.

The Muskeg People also known as: the Muskogee, Muskeg Creek, Creek, Mvskokvlke, or, the Muscogee Creek Confederacy (pronounced: [məskógəlgi]) in the Muscogee language, are a related group of Indigenous Peoples of the Southeastern Woodlands.
Their traditional homelands are in what now comprises: southern Tennessee, all of Alabama, western Georgia and part of northern Florida. Like the Cherokee People in northeastern Alabama, most of the Muscogee People were "forcibly relocated" from their original lands in the 1830's, during the "Trail of Tears" to Indian Territory (now, Oklahoma).
Some Muscogee fled European encroachment in 1797 and 1804 to establish two small tribal territories, that continue to exist today in Louisiana and Texas. Another small branch of the Muscogee Creek Confederacy managed to remain in Alabama and is now known as: the Poarch Band of Creek Indians.
