Please use proper grammar when asking the question. The Seminoles were forced from Florida during the Seminole Indian Wars also known as the Florida Wars. They were moved via ship from Ft. Brook (now Tampa, Florida) to the Indian Reservations in Oklahoma from 1814-1859. Only about 300 Seminoles remained in Florida following the War. The Seminoles never accepted defeat, however, there were no Seminole Chiefs left for the Seminoles to surrender.

What led to the Second Seminole War?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

There is actually no such language as "Indian". There are more than 450 different languages spoken in India. If you are talking about Native American languages, there are more than 700.
