Seminole War Timeline
The Seminole War began with the invasion of Florida, and it ended with thousands of indigenous people killed or forcibly taken west. For the United States of America, it was the longest and most expensive “Indian War” they fought, and it deeply divided the populace. For the Indigenous people of Florida, it was the defense of their families and homes from a nation determined to see them forced out, enslaved, or dead. Thousands were killed or forcibly taken from Florida over four decades of war. But others survived, unconquered, and their sacrifices allowed the Seminole Tribe of Florida to live today.
