The correct answer is B: They were forced to give up their land without payment.
After the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814, the Muscogee (Creek) people faced significant losses, including land cessions that occurred under pressure from the United States government. Their defeat led to the signing of treaties that resulted in substantial land loss without fair compensation, contributing to the broader displacement of Native American tribes during this period.
