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.
