WHO: In the 1830’s, the United States was attempting to enforce its policy of Indian removal.The Seminoles were facing the loss of their homeland and their freedom.After broken treaties and failed peace parleys, the Seminoles took up arms against removal.The US Government thought they could quickly overpower the Seminoles and waged the fiercest of all wars ever waged between the US Government and Native Peoples.They burned settlements and captured, killed and scattered many Seminole families.This seven year war cost more than the American Revolution and involved 52,000 soldiers fighting against less than 2,000 warriors.The Seminoles fought with courage and determination and had a unique knowledge of the land.Although many Seminoles were killed or removed to present-day Oklahoma, they were never defeated, and to this day their 3500 descendants are known as “The Unconquered” Seminole Tribe of Florida.
