Under the leadership of Chief Osceola, the Seminole Indians refused to be forcibly moved to Oklahoma territory. Instead, they retreated to the Florida Everglades. The Seminoles continued to resist relocation for seven years, until the backbone of their resistance was broken when their chief was captured under the guise of a flag of truce.
they started a war w/ run away slaves and the goverment decided they could stay in florida
Part of it is: The leader, Osceola, called to his followers and told them to go against the Indian Removal Act and the Second Seminole War was started. Osceola was taken prisoner and he died while he was a captive. About 4,000 Seminole Indians were removed from Florida and a few hundred of them were killed. Over time, the U.S. decided to stop trying to remove them so some small groups of Seminole Indians managed to stay in Florida. Plus some Seminole Indian descendants live in Florida currently.
