War broke out with the Seminole tribe in 1817. General Andrew Jackson ended the war quickly and many Native lives were lost.
Osceola helped lead the Seminole tribe in the Second Seminole War.
The Seminole Indian tribe lived there and still does. Incidentally the Seminole Nation is still technically at war with the U.S. having never signed a peace treaty.
The second Seminole war took place between 1835 and 1842 between the various groups of native Americans.

One tribe of Native Americans that was involved in conflicts with the Puritans was the Pequot tribe. The Pequot War took place in 1636-1638 in what is now Connecticut. The war resulted in the defeat of the Pequot tribe and the significant reduction of their population.
The Second Seminole War began in 1835. By May of 1837, many of the tribe's chiefs had surrendered to American forces.
Some fled and some stayed and fought. (they chose to fight in the Second Seminole War)

The Seminole Wars, of which there were three, the first beginning in 1817, and the third ending in 1858.
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.
