HURRY IM IN A TEST PLZ HELP The excerpt is from the Treaty of New York. If any citizen of the United States, or other person not being an Indian, shall attempt to settle on any of the Creeks' lands, such person shall forfeit the protection of the United States, and the Creeks may punish him or not, as they please. Which explains how the treaty helped the Creeks protect their remaining lands? It stopped the Creeks from imprisoning anyone who took land belonging to their tribes. It required the US to pay a fine every time someone took land belonging to the Creeks. It gave the US the right to protect anyone who took land belonging to the Creeks. It prevented the US from protecting anyone who took land belonging to the Creeks.

It prevented the US from protecting anyone who took land belonging to the Creeks.

Explanation:

A lot of the time, white American and European settlers deliberately encroached on and settled on Native American lands because they knew that should the Natives retaliate, the American government would come to their aid. This therefore emboldened them to continue to take more land from the Natives.

With this treaty however stating that if a person tries to settle on Creek land, they would not be protected by the American government, the protection of this encroachers was gone and the Creeks were free to protect their land.

This quite probably would act as a deterrent to would be encroachers thus enabling the Creeks to protect their remaining land.
