Seminole War of 1836

Answer 1

The Second Seminole War, which began in 1835 and continued until 1842, was a conflict between the United States and the Seminole people in Florida. It arose primarily from U.S. efforts to remove the Seminoles from their ancestral lands following the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The war was marked by guerrilla tactics used by the Seminoles under leaders like Osceola, resulting in significant casualties and financial costs for the U.S. Ultimately, while some Seminoles were forcibly relocated, many remained in Florida, leading to a protracted and costly conflict.
