War broke out with the Seminole tribe in 1817. General Andrew Jackson ended the war quickly and many Native lives were lost.
Osceola helped lead the Seminole tribe in the Second Seminole War.
The Seminole Indian tribe lived there and still does. Incidentally the Seminole Nation is still technically at war with the U.S. having never signed a peace treaty.
The second Seminole war took place between 1835 and 1842 between the various groups of native Americans.
The chief of the Seminole Tribe who famously refused to move from Florida to Indian Territory was Osceola. He was a prominent leader during the Second Seminole War, which lasted from 1835 to 1842. Osceola's resistance to removal was marked by his strategic guerrilla warfare tactics against U.S. forces, symbolizing the fight for Native American rights and sovereignty. His legacy remains a significant part of Seminole history and American resistance to forced relocation.

The Seminole war was fought in Florida. :-)
Battles during the Seminole Wars primarily took place near several Seminole villages in Florida, including those in the areas of Fort Brooke and the Everglades. The First Seminole War occurred from 1817 to 1818, the Second Seminole War lasted from 1835 to 1842, and the Third Seminole War took place from 1855 to 1858. These conflicts were driven by tensions over land and the United States' policies toward Native American tribes.
One tribe of Native Americans that was involved in conflicts with the Puritans was the Pequot tribe. The Pequot War took place in 1636-1638 in what is now Connecticut. The war resulted in the defeat of the Pequot tribe and the significant reduction of their population.
Osceola was a prominent leader of the Seminole tribe during the Second Seminole War, known for his fierce resistance against U.S. government efforts to remove his people from their lands in Florida. His leadership was characterized by his strategic military tactics and ability to unite various factions of the Seminole tribe against a common enemy. Osceola was ultimately captured under a flag of truce in 1837 and died in prison in 1838, likely from pneumonia or complications related to his captivity. His legacy remains a symbol of Native American resistance and resilience.
Some fled and some stayed and fought. (they chose to fight in the Second Seminole War)
The Second Seminole War began in 1835. By May of 1837, many of the tribe's chiefs had surrendered to American forces.
