The Seminole war was fought in Florida. :-)
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.
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.
Osceola helped lead the Seminole tribe in the Second Seminole War.
