In 1818, President Andrew Jackson led military forces into Florida to address the issue of Seminole raids into Georgia. His actions resulted in the seizure of Spanish forts and the capture of the influential Seminole leader, Osceola. This military incursion escalated tensions between the United States and Spain, ultimately contributing to the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819, in which Spain ceded Florida to the U.S.
In 1817-1818, President Monroe orders Jackson to chase raiding Seminole Indians back into Florida, but not to invade Florida. Instead, Jackson invaded Florida, captured military forts, executed two British subjects for stirring up Indian attacks, and replaced the Spanish governor. Many members of Monroe's cabinet believed that Jackson should have been court-martialed for his actions in Florida. With that said, the Secretary of State, John Quincy Adams, saved the day for Jackson and it was ruled that Jackson had acted in self defense in Florida.
The First Seminole War was 1817 to 1818, the Second was 1835 to 1842 and the third was from 1855 to 1858.
