Andrew Jackson played a pivotal role in the Seminole Wars, particularly the First Seminole War (1817-1818). As a U.S. Army general, he led military campaigns against the Seminole tribe in Florida, aimed at curbing their resistance to American expansion and addressing issues like runaway slaves seeking refuge among them. His aggressive tactics and incursions into Spanish Florida ultimately led to the U.S. acquiring Florida through the Adams-Onís Treaty in 1819. Jackson's actions significantly shaped U.S. policy towards Native American tribes and territorial expansion.

The Seminole Wars took place in Florida between 1817 and 1858, primarily during two significant conflicts: the First Seminole War (1817-1818) under President James Monroe and the Second Seminole War (1835-1842) during President Andrew Jackson's administration. The Third Seminole War occurred later, from 1855 to 1858, while Franklin Pierce was president. Each of these leaders played a role in the U.S. government's policies and military actions regarding the Seminole people.
