Fort Hampton (Alabama)
- ... that Fort Hampton was constructed by the United States Army to warn Americans to leave and keep them from illegally settling in Chickasaw territory? Source: "...an untold number of Anglo settlers continuing to inhabit Chickasaw lands. Given the recurring settlement problem, a more fixed military presence was necessary to ensure that, once removed, settlers did not return. As a result, the United States military constructed the frontier post of Fort Hampton in the late summer and fall of 1810." Taken from page 25 of the linked pdf: [1]

Hi Dofftoubab, review follows: article created 3 July; article is of good length, well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources (I think the post-grad thesis is reliable in this case); I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing from the main source; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to the source cited; nominator is exempt from QPQ requirements. Looks fine to me, good work on the article - Dumelow (talk) 14:11, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
