Two letters no

The three Seminole Wars or Florida Wars were fought between the US and the Seminole Indians and escaped slaves in Spains Florida Territory between 1817 and 1858.
No, and the US did not declare war on Finland. However, UK declared war on Finland on 6 December 1941.
After the American Revolution, most of the wars involved small flare ups with Indians, such as the Seminole War. The first major war was the War of 1812, which was another conflict with England only 31 years after ending the Revolution.
For the United States, only the US Congress has the power to declare war. That's explicit in the US consitution.
The leader, Osceola, called to his followers and told them to go against the Indian Removal Act and the Second Seminole War was started. Osceola was taken prisoner and he died while he was a captive. About 4,000 Seminole Indians were removed from Florida and a few hundred of them were killed. Over time, the U.S. decided to stop trying to remove them so some small groups of Seminole Indians managed to stay in Florida. Plus some Seminole Indian descendants live in Florida currently.
The US did not declare war on Germany. Germany declared war on the US shortly after the Japanese attack on Hawaii.

The United States lost The War in Vietnam. After 100 years of war the United States paid the Seminole Indians to sign a peace treaty. You could say the United States lost the Seminole War. Two American attempts to invade and forcibly annex Canada, in 1775 and 1812, both failed completely.
