The History of Florida | The Seminole War

Seminole Tribe of Florida, a proud heritage. They are proudly called the "Unconqeured" I'm an alumni of Florida State University

Thank you for this very deep dive into the History of the tribe.

[@anthonyjeter4643]

Key part of the history that was not told on this video...the original name of the war was not 'The Seminole War', until later. The original name as denoted in the military history archives is 'The Negro War'...it then changed to the 'The indian War' and later to 'The Seminole War'...each name change gathered more 'citizen' awareness of the call for 'freedom and security' for the neighboring states. It also caused a divide amongst the Seminole / Maroon, which was critical for the success of the US Army. Wonderful American History that is fought to be removed from the educational learning curriculum.

[@Thoughtsbycynthiadehavlen]

Exactly. They keep saying and the free blacks to throw you off.

[@Thoughtsbycynthiadehavlen]

And the free blacks. We have always been free. What has happened across the board is a crime , kidnapping, held hostage on their lands and robbery.

quiz was the best. great history lesson. I will be visiting fla in March of '25. What land mark associated with the indians would you recommend me be sure to visit?

[@kj3n569]

If you are visiting South Florida you can go to the Seminole Reservation and see a Native village. It's on Alligator Alley, West of Ft Lauderdale. The Seminole Tribe also owns the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino chain, with locations in Hollywood, (east coast) and Tampa (west coast). While not really a "Native" type destination, it is theirs. The best thing is to go online and research what you're looking for. An airboat ride through the 'Glades is always a good experience for visitors interested in Old Florida. Good luck!

[@wilesdukedubose4431]

Maybe check out Micanopy, Fla. One of Northern towns that had Seminole activities. It's near Gainesville, Fla and Paine's Prarie State Preserve (wild horses, Buffalo and alligator. If you're in Jacksonville, Fla. The Treaty Oak (downtown South Bank) is where they met. Good luck and have fun!

[@LoneWolf0090]

Awesome video 😎👍 The Seminole tribe is underrated

[@nicoleking772]

By Who? Not by Floridians. My husband was born in South Florida lived most of his life just miles from the reservation in Broward, went to High School and was friends with members of the Billy Family, and like MOST locals, has GREAT RESPECT for The Seminole Tribe of Florida. Throughout the county are historical remnants of the Second Seminole War. AS well as a MULTI-MILLION Dollar Hotel and casino. Underrated IS NOT a term anyone here would use.

[@looseunit1615]

The Seminole fought the US troops as hard as any other Native American tribes. Impressive warriors.

Spain lost control of the territory to them

[@piratepete842]

Of interest was the loss of the bullion vessel El Cazador off of Louisiana..the specie aboard was to replenish Spains depleted assets in its south eastern holdings..with the loss of it they had little leverage and thus ceded this territory to England who gave it back to Spain who gave it to the US as per the mentioned treaty..Spanish land grants were to be abolished..but some were recognized until it was decided by the government to nullify them as in the case of that land in Tampa where fort Brooke was established

[@taryngotclout6013]

Im surprised you didn’t cover the part where the us government faked a peace treaty with Osceola and chopped his head off and never returned it, at least that’s what I was told as a child from my grandpa

[@piratepete842]

Actually Osceolas head was removed after his death by the physician at Fort Moultrie..Osceolas grave is outside the gate of Moultrie..of interest around 1965 during a visit there I overheard a ranger telling a man that a group from Florida had recently stated that they had snuck in and disinterred Osceolas remains and returned them to Florida..about 3 years ago while visiting there I brought up that rumor to a ranger..he stated that he vaguely remembered hearing about it, but felt that it was likely unsubstantiated..also stating that due to respect no intrusive studies were to happen..so there is the mystery of Osceolas remains..one can visit Moultrie..it's located on Sullivan's island

[@stopsign4384]

I find it very disappointing how you don't touch on the American Army's disgrace of capturing Seminole warriors under white flags of truce. You also didn't touch on how Osceola was transferred to South Carolina where he knew he was going to die. His last wish was to be buried in Florida where he was from so he could rest in peace. Instead he was beheaded after death, his decapitated body was buried in a Fort in South Carolina and his head was used as a toy to terrorize children and was eventually traded off and lost. Yea...You could have done better on how ***** us Americans really were.

I remember a western movie named ‘A Man Called Horse’ it was about an indian leader who fought against the US Calvary. It’s been years since I saw the movie but if the movie was based on John Horse he was portrayed by a white man looking like a red man depicting an Indian. The truth comes out eventually.

[@piratepete842]

[@relentless01]

what are the things that always makes me a little bit crazy is the use of the Seminole imagery, etc. by Florida State University 💁🏼‍♂️ especially the use of the horse and the spear… As I understand it, the Seminole literally did not use horses at all, and certainly did not hunt from horseback using the spear… is this true ⁉️💁🏼‍♂️ and how is it that Florida State University can use the Seminole tribe imagery for all of their ads and commercial purposes ⁉️ I assume there is some agreement there… But How do most Seminoles feel about it ⁉️ is there compensation for all of the tribe members⁉️ and I wondered, do they mind the inaccurate depictions of their tribe?

Seminole are Maroons. I am a Jamaican Maroon direct Descendant of King Kojo. Maroon does come from cimarron but it that word comes from Marrano which comes Arab muharram meaning forbidden the moors Black African Muslims used it to describe Pigs becoming marrano in Spain. Marrano is derogatory term for HEBREWS calling them Pigs Cimarron is Run away or Wild Pig. The Jews of Portugal and Spain escaped to Jamaica and hideout from the inquisition such as maroon leader Juan De serras (Serras a town of marranos in Spain)
