At the same time the hostile Indians were much cowed at the news of Wayne's victory in the North.
Treachery of the United States Government to the Chickasaws.
The Frontiersmen Stand by Chickasaws.
All these causes combined to make the Creeks sue for peace.

To its shame and discredit the United States Government at first proposed to repeat towards the Chickasaws the treachery of which the British had just been guilty to the Northern Indians; for it refused to defend them from the Creeks, against whom they had been acting, partly, it is true, for their own ends, but partly in the interest of the settlers.

The frontiersmen, however, took a much more just and generous view of the affair.

Mansker and a number of the best fighters in the Cumberland district marched to the assistance of the Chickasaws; and the frontier militia generally showed grateful appreciation of the way both the Upper Cherokees and the Chickasaws helped them put a stop to the hostilities of the Chickamaugas and Creeks.

Robertson got the Choctaws to interfere on behalf of the Chickasaws and to threaten war with the Creeks if the latter persisted in their hostilities.
