The Navy Mosquito Fleet was tasked with patrolling and securing the coastal waters and inland rivers of Florida during the Second Seminole War (1835-1842). This small, shallow-draft naval force aimed to disrupt Seminole supply lines, support Army operations, and assist in the transportation of troops. Their operations were essential for maintaining control over waterways, which were vital for both military logistics and communication in the challenging terrain of the Florida swamps. The fleet played a key role in the overall strategy to subdue the Seminole resistance.

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president. He served from 1829 to 1837. During Jackson's terms Osceola led a Seminole uprising called the "Second Seminole War". Osceola was captured and died in jail less than a year later.
The Seminole Wars took place in Florida between 1817 and 1858, primarily during two significant conflicts: the First Seminole War (1817-1818) under President James Monroe and the Second Seminole War (1835-1842) during President Andrew Jackson's administration. The Third Seminole War occurred later, from 1855 to 1858, while Franklin Pierce was president. Each of these leaders played a role in the U.S. government's policies and military actions regarding the Seminole people.
The second seminole war ends.
