Best Answer

Zachary Taylor claimed victory at Lake Okeechobe in the Seminole Wars,

his trrop losses certainly excceeded Custers but lacking a clear victory and

the lack of a National martyr the action drew little noteriety. The Seminole

War had very little effect on the American psyche. Custer's Waterloo was

preserved as a US legend by his widow, the media and the birth of the

"Wild West Show".
