Seminole Wars: The Untold Story of Black Seminole Alliances | African American History

[@Danette8206]

Thank you for sharing our story

[@melnelo3875]

This was such a smooth, precise and to the point breakdown. It helped me so much to understand the connection between the black Seminoles and the Seminoles. I know I can go into a more in-depth research but this helped me a lot for what I need to do. Thanks!

I knew on my moms side we had Choctaw, Chickasaw , and Creek in our lineage however there’s more. My grandma who was my guardian angel was born in Seminole nation Oklahoma. My great great grandma is on the Dawes rolls. My birth certificate says negro . M y dad’s side is black creole from New Orleans.

Truth be told

[@anthonyjeter4643]

The amazing point that gets overlooked is the navigational skills of the African descendants, to go through the coastal plains of S. Carolina / Georgia and into Florida. These coastal areas are complex alone! Then have the ability to find a common means of verbal to non-verbal communication and merge the technical skills of two cultures and be successful. This is a feat that is glassed over, but is astounding!!!!

[@lordvonmanor6915]

You don't have to say Black Seminoles because the two words are Synonyms. The main issue which caused every European country to go after them was the fact that they were sitting on a massive amount of Petroleum and wouldn't release it.👍

[@AfricanElements]

I would love to see any proof of this... Especially your first claim. The first discovery of petroleum in the United States that kickstarted the oil industry occurred in 1859 at Drake Well in western Pennsylvania, which was one year after the last Seminole War. Before that, oil production in the United States was not a thing. If they did discover oil in Florida, It's odd that they would wait nearly 100 years to exploit it as Florida's first successful oil well was drilled in 1943 by the Humble Oil Company (now ExxonMobil) in the Sunniland oilfield, located in southwest Florida. Before that time, there was no oil production in the state.

[@lordvonmanor6915]

@@AfricanElements What do you mean first discovery? Oil was known about for a very long time and was used to light houses. Indigenous people owned all the oil and would only release small amounts because it was deemed to be the gates of hell.👍 As to my first statement tell me the definition to Seminole and I will explain in full how languages work. Driving right now so responses will be slow but I'll get you there.

[@AfricanElements]

I'm asking for evidence, not claims. What evidence do you have that petroleum was in use in Florida prior to 1859? Why did it take nearly a century to dig the first oil well in Florida in 1943? As for the definition of the Seminole, they are a conglomeration of various indigenous groups.

[@AfricanElements]

... Also, please don't respond while you are driving. I can wait till you get to whatever destination you're getting to.

As a Native American, not that many native American tribes were into African people, but in Mexico we had our first Black President over 200 years ago, i feel like they are more connected with their African ancestry compared to those in the USA

[@AfricanElements]

Can't remember his name, but yes... the second President in the newly independent Mexico. You're probably right, but it still has a commission past and does share a significant degree of anti-blackness with the United States.

[@guichozuniga7385]

@@AfricanElements that's Vicente Guerrero... You can probably find some info about him even tho he lived over 200 years ago I almost forgot in the United States of Mexico you still TODAY have some members in the ILLUMINATI and the Nazis.. present today...

[@Smitty753]

From what I seen is researcher I did the term Seminole was taken from Spanish origin but there were always Black Seminoles from the beginning because the people that came from the creek Confederation that have black members of their tribe so truthfully a seminal is a European Spanish term which doesn't really necessary have any relation from any Native American language

[@AfricanElements]

That's interesting! Where can I read up on that?

[@_estecate_]

Simanoli / seminolé comes from cimarrones/ cimarron - Spanish for wild , runaway, or untamed . Correct .

[@jasminbryan8649]

Seminole is a word the European ppl out on us we were never Seminoles period

[@AfricanElements]

Thanks for commenting! Please like and subscribe! 👍🏽

[@kalikrishna21]

Wow

[@_estecate_]

We are not Africans bro if you gonna tell the story tell it correct . Seminolé are small offshoot of the Gullah and the Gullah word comes from Indians who were indigenous to coastal plain region of southeast Georgia (Savannah) called the ‘Guale’ pronounced (Wah-lee) . That’s where the word Gullah comes from . Geechee is from the Ogeechee river in GA . None of us have anything to do with Africa . We are the indigenous one the original Simanoli .

@@AfricanElements You gotta admit tho…the Spaniards did say they looked like Ethiopians when they got to the islands

[@marquise7200]

@@sweetwonkahallelujah7016see look even if the natives were dark that don’t mean they were African American. It’s black Indians it’s black natives it’s black Arabs. None of them really have the same dna as black people. Look at the descendants of Alot of these Native American chiefs they look more like Mexicans and Asians. I do think Alot of black people in America have native blood but to ignore our African roots is crazy especially when IT’s prominent. Look at the hair texture of these native people nothing like black people. Which should be a tattletale sign. We don’t know where we came from but dna don’t lie. You can see where a person ancestry by looking at a person. Certain genes are more dominant than others but it’s not really that hard once you start traveling or really just into different cultures.

[@williamoverton7775]

these aren't my favorite indiuns who are african stories. my favorite is the story of the ravens children because there were no struggles for freedom or land except those that already existed between tribes and clans. it was in those times the burning mans nation went through all the lands burning them so they would produce more. and were a friend to all tribes because they knew the secrets of permagrade and prevented starvation with the secrets of nations but then one day dinali created a tribe in the north central reaches of present day canada the people who formed that tribe were from Somalia like the founders of the devil clan and were given the central carve of the northern ocean where they hardened themselves until they could survive winter with the help of the Dinali for seven generations. then they were gathered as servants to the land whose blood was able to increase the isolated numbers of people living in isolation. and whose expert knowledge allowed more of them to survive in old age. they later fought a minor civil war with the burning men but eventually became the strongest allied preisthood of all wilderness people. and their dynasty continued for thousands of years. until the second great war between dinali and the great lakes that was caused by glaciers making the central planes west of the great lakes uninhabitable for fifty years.

I don't like the term black anything either. indiuns who are black aren't black indiuns the opposite phraseology reeks of the theft of history. which black walstreet sort of is by the way. it's a story for some reason the indiuns have been edited out of so is tuskeegee and the black cherokees outside of the airmen and experiments they want you to think they were black just because they went to blackface when the exile made them neighbors.

​@@AfricanElements We use to come on these apps and tell our history when the internet first took off. The more that we presented, the more the American natives history changed to align with our knowledge so we stopped presenting the info online. A well documented example of this is when we disclosed info about the mounds and the yts first denied that they could be as old as we claimed. Once their research proved that we were telling the truth they credited the info that we gave them to the American natives! If you know where or how I can present this information without it being stolen and attributed to imposters please let me know. I sit on a mountain of history with evidence to back.
