The Black Seminoles lived in West Texas
The Seminole are a Native American people originally of Florida, and now residing in that state and in Oklahoma. The Seminole nation came into existence in the 18th century and was composed of Indians from Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, most significantly the Creek Nation, as well as African Americans who escaped from slavery in South Carolina and Georgia (see Black Seminoles). While roughly 3,000 Seminoles were forced west of the Mississippi River, including the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, who picked up new members along their way, approximately 300 to 500 Seminoles stayed and fought in and around the Everglades of Florida. In a series of wars against the Seminoles in Florida, about 1,500 U.S. soldiers died. The Seminoles never surrendered to the United States government, hence, the Seminoles of Florida call themselves the "Unconquered People." The Florida Seminoles are the only American Indian tribe never to sign a formal peace treaty with the United States.Source: Answers.com

The name 'Seminole' is a variation of the Spanish word 'Cimarron, which means 'runaway.' The Seminoles can trace their ethnicity back to through various tribes, mainly Creek. The tribe also merged with escaped African slaves who came to be known as Black Seminoles. The tribe now mainly resides in Oklahoma and Florida.
The Black Seminoles is a term used by modern historians for the descendants of free blacks and some runaway slaves (maroons) and Gullahs.
They helped the seminoles against the US. See: Black seminoles
The Seminoles welcomed runaway slaves mainly because they shared a common enemy in the English colonists. These slaves would become known as Black Seminoles.
The Seminole...Beginning in 1835 , Seminoles in northern Florida had been fighting a war against settlers over the land....in 1836 the Seminoles, along with their free black friends, called the "Black Seminoles", attacked white-owned sugar plantations...the enslaved plantation workers joined them, striking back at their slave masters...They burned the sugar plantations to the ground and sugar was never again a viable product in northern Florida...The war between the Seminoles and the settlers lasted until 1842 without a clear victor...making the Seminole the most successful tribe to remain near their settlement....
Democratic Black Caucus of Florida was created in 1980.
The first step of the Black Hand, a secret society responsible for the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was to recruit and indoctrinate members. This involved selecting individuals who were willing to carry out acts of violence in support of the organization's goals.

Yes, black bears are found in Florida. In fact, there is a certain type of black bear known as the Florida Black Bear, though I do not know if there are any differences whatsoever between the Florida Black Bear and a general black bear found across the United States.
