The Battle of Holy Ground, or Battle of Econochaca, was a battle fought on December 23, 1813, between the United States militia and the Red Stick Creek Indians during the Creek War. The battle took place at Econochaca, the site of a fortified encampment established in the summer of 1813 by Josiah Francis on a bluff above the Alabama River, in what is now Lowndes County, Alabama. It was one of three encampments erected by Red Stick Creeks that summer. In addition to the physical defenses, Creek prophets performed ceremonies at the site to create a spiritual barrier of protection. Hence the Creek name "Econochaca," loosely translated as holy ground, but properly translated as sacred or beloved ground.

  • La bataille de Holy Ground, ou bataille d'Econochaca s'est déroulée le 23 décembre 1813 entre les milices des États-Unis et les Red Sticks pendant la guerre Creek. La bataille s'est déroulée à Econochaca, site d'un campement fortifié établi à l'été 1813 par Josiah Francis sur une falaise au-dessus de la rivière Alabama. C'était l'un des trois campements érigés par les Red Sticks cet été-là. En plus des défenses physiques, les prophètes Creek exécutèrent des cérémonies sur le site pour créer une barrière de protection spirituelle. D'où le nom creek « Econochaca », vaguement traduit comme une terre sainte, mais correctement traduit comme terre sacrée ou bien-aimée. (fr)
