After Florida became a U.S. territory in 1821, the Seminole people faced increasing pressure from American settlers and the government to cede their lands. This led to a series of conflicts known as the Seminole Wars, with the first war occurring from 1817 to 1818 and the second from 1835 to 1842. Many Seminoles resisted relocation, leading to prolonged warfare and significant loss of life. Ultimately, a number of Seminoles escaped into the Everglades, where they continued to resist U.S. control and maintain their culture.
