The Seminole and Sauk resistance efforts in the 19th century both aimed to defend their lands and way of life against U.S. expansion. The Seminole, primarily in Florida, engaged in a protracted conflict known as the Seminole Wars, utilizing guerrilla tactics and forming alliances with escaped slaves. In contrast, the Sauk, led by Chief Black Hawk, faced a more direct confrontation during the Black Hawk War in 1832, which was characterized by a series of battles and ultimately a swift defeat. While both groups resisted the encroachment of settlers, their strategies and contexts reflected their unique circumstances and geographical challenges.

The Navajo Nation is 27,000 square miles (the size of Holland and Belgium combined) and ranges from 4,500 feet and 8,000 feet in elevation with even higher mountains, so there is a great deal of variation in climate. All of the areas have snow in the winter and monsoon summer rains and thunderstorms.

There are four main regions regions: the flat valleys at elevations from 4,500 to 6,000 feet, the upland plains at 5,500 - 7,000 feet; the mesas are 6,000 - 8,000 feet; and the mountains are from 7,500 to over 10,000 feet. Each of these regions is cut by canyons ranging from a few hundred to 2,000 feet in depth.

There are three climates zones: the cold humid climate of the mountains and mesa tops, 8%; the steppe climate of the mesas and the high plains, 37%; and the comparatively warm desert, 55%.

Temperatures in the cold humid zone average a low of 4 degrees and a high of 80. The annual precipitation is 16 - 27 inches, and the growing season is only 95 days.

The steppe zone has average low of 10 degrees and a high of 88. Annual precipitation is from 12-16 inches, the growing season is 147 days.

Finally, in the desert area temperatures are a low of 11 degrees and a high of 110. Annual precipitation is between 7 and 11 inches, and the growing season is 173 days.

In 1812 the Seminoles were a loose confederation of bands led by individual chiefs. The first "head chief" of the Seminoles was Micconapy, who served as head chief of the Oklahoma Seminoles from about 1840 until his death in 1849.

the seminoles houses were made of hay and poo

Because the US government wanted to keep the citizens safe.

. . . Or because the US government wanted land so that they could cultivate it, use it, build on it and make money off it. The natives were a hassle that the pioneers viewed as savages. Once the Seminoles were pushed away from the Lake Worth area, because the whites wanted to be near all the water, they were only allowed into white towns during specified trading days. The Seminoles were referred to as "dumb Indians" and treated cruelly.

Sure, the government wanted to keep their white people safe, and they wanted to keep the land they had claimed. They didn't see the Seminoles as equal human beings. When the Seminoles fought back to remain on their land, they had every right to. Their land was being taken from them and they were being forced out of their homes so that the US government could expand their territories. People saw Florida as a great opportunity to make money, because everyone wanted to go to paradise. What you should be asking is, "Why in the world did the newcomers think they had a right to be there in the first place?"

It's like walking into somebody's living room and saying, "Get out. This is my house now. Sorry."

The Seminoles were good hunters, this helped them to find food. They used spears to catch fish. They would catch animals by burning away areas of grass. They knew that when the new grass would come in, animals would come to feed, this is when they would hunt them.
