George Washington actually said...

"But although the most valuable of the disputed land is included, yet there is a certain claim of Georgia..."

"It contains a regular, full, and definitive relinquishment on the part of the Creek Nation of the Oconee land."

"It is to be expected that it will also in its consequences be the means of firmly attaching the Creeks and the neighboring tribes to the interests of the United States."

"It therefore appears to be important to form a secret article of a treaty similar to the one which accompanies this message."
