The Yamasee of Georgia ally with the Muscogee Nation to revolt against British slavers to end the practice of collecting trading debts via slavery. Within a year, the Yamasee are defeated and migrate to Florida to become part of the Seminole nation. Others migrate to Central Georgia and Alabama to join the Muscogee Confederacy (Nies, 1996).
