and regulars overran the front, the Red Sticks fled to the river rear being shot down by Coffee’s mounted riflemen on the outside bank. Wounded Red Stick warriors hiding in the underbrush were dispatched with bayonets and tomahawks. The Americans gathered the Red Stick women and children and secured them. The Americans found 557 dead Red Stick warriors while an estimated 300 Red Stick warriors were drowned in the river rear. Some 300 women and an unknown number of children were marched toward Fort Talladega to be taken as slaves by Cherokee and friendly Creeks loyal to the American cause. Andrew Jackson adopted an orphaned Creek child and named him Andrew Junior. Later, Red Stick leader William Weatherford surrendered to the Americans. The Creek Warriors lost 800 killed and 206 wounded. The Americans lost 47 killed and 159 wounded. And the Native American allies of the Americans lost 23 killed and 47 wounded. So the Americans and their allies lost 70 killed and 206 wounded in total.
