William McIntosh was killed in 1825 primarily due to his controversial decision to sign the Treaty of Indian Springs, which ceded Creek tribal lands to the United States without the consent of the majority of the Creek Nation. His actions were viewed as a betrayal by many Creeks, leading to his assassination by tribal members who opposed the treaty and sought to protect their land and sovereignty. His death highlighted the tensions between Native American leaders and U.S. government policies during that period.
