The History of Florida | The Seminole War

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.

HEBREWS

Spain lost control of the territory to them

The more I watch these history war, genocide, land mongering, the more depressed I am about today’s wars, genocides and land mongering.

Thank you

This was very informative. Now I know a little piece of my state history as a born and raised Floridian. Very good stuff

U failed to mention the order of the US government to relocate them across the Mason Dixie line west of the Mississippi after the purchase of Florida from Spain.

Let us be honest, the Seminole's have jet aircraft and their own private airport southeast of Immokalee. The also own all the HARDROCK HOTELS and Casinos in the world. So stop with this pity party for them. The only bad thing is a few at the top enjoy all the money.

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

👍

Andrew Jackson was a genicidal maniac.

So if I get this right here. American Troops were beaten so badly, that the only way to beat the Seminoles was to abduct their Women & Children as hostages/pow's? Threatening to send them to Oklahoma? If I did comprehend that correctly. As far as, the American troops go, how could there be any shred of honor, dignity or moral code deciding that kidnapping Seminole Families would be the only way to? How could that be the ultimate decision? Psychological warfare the only way to win? Am I sort of understanding this right? If I am, that's got to be one the most embarrassing chapter of American history🤦. I'm not saying I would have figured out any way to beat the Seminoles myself, they seem to know that topography, the geography so well & fight as world-class Warriors that nobody can compete with them. I believe roughly 3K Seminoles took out somewhere around 20K American troops. I'm just trying to understand the History, no judgement. Thanks 🙏🙌

Great video, thank you!

great information...thank you!... that music tho... FIREEEE

History told by not my ancestors. My grand parents storys are not the same as yours. Fork tongue.

My Grandfather and Grandmother as well, refused to carry a $20 bill, their entire life, because Jackson is on it. Google-Trail of Tears, to see why. 🖕🏾🖕🏾Jackson!!!!

T. Y. For correctly informing YT about my Family, Upper Creek, Red Stick.

Mvskoke peoples in the southeast and the Afro-descendants who became part of those communities. Some are Mvskoke and African and early European.

But the idea that the original Seminole were African Americans isn't quite right, they're a Mvskoke community which included African descendants in many ways. But they consider themselves indigenous and they pre-date the United States' presence in their region. Which is why they're called indigenous either way even if they're African descendants, they're also Native descendants or in some cases, descendants of Africans who were part of Native American communities.

It's all a big part of Native American history, but it's good to know that the original Seminole were from the indigenous people of the Americas before they were introduced to African people in post-colonial eras.

Land to be parcelled out to white settlers from Europe.

I had read about the trail of tears, but did not know the transfer of Seminole tribesmen by ship to Oklahoma via New Orleans. I guess there were less deaths by transportation by ship.

Its sad, fr. AMERICA IS GREEDY & EVIL!

Thank you...i live in Ft Myers n have often wondered about Billy Bow Legs cos he has a creek n a ballfield in his name here.

A more accurate name is "The Seminole Massacres"

Pensacola is Rich in History

One of my 6th great grandfather's was Chief William McIntosh in the lower creek also a Brigadier General under Andrew Jackson that was murdered by redstick creeks in 1825 for signing the treaty of Indian Springs.

Keep in mind POS Ron DeSantis is trying to cover all this history up !

The mafia helps. Minnesota is famous because of mobsters. Mystic Lake started with bingo, just like the rest

Both sides have a lot to answer for period 😮

Awesome video 😎👍
The Seminole tribe is underrated

Time for the Seminole Nation to take back Florida!!!

More shaded history of the Americas the history we are not talk to soccer history books are prejudi. !

Should have been wiped out

Two words: Incomplete. Superficial.

Once Andrew Jackson started riding your way it was too late .

The slaves was from the same indian race blood line. What we today identify as black.

Why this program got the indigenous people white and Mongolian washed

Always remember Osceola was taken under a flag of truce

It's sad on how greedy those in U.S. government power were / are... And true immigrant settlers from Scott, Irish, England, European were wanting land and sometime violated establish treaties...
A branch of my ancestors were killed in the Creek Wars in Tennessee...
All of us living in the United States are living on previously Native American lands...

Dis Trash! FULL OF LIES AND OMISSIONS! GARBAGE!

“HIS’TORY”….. Not mine

No wonder there’s a anti woke law in Florida !

John Horse, a great Seminole freedom fighter never retreated and never signed a disgraceful Treaty with foreign savage tyranny.

Not "American Settlers they were European Colonizers " foreigners invading someone else's ancestral homelands. That's the truth, not that racist revisionist feel good narrative for the psychotic sociopaths who's greed and racist ambitions lacked all moral ethical principled conscious. Thank God, we survived many of their demonic onslaughts and attempts at genocide. We are still here, growing and thriving while the opposite holds for the violators.

Thank you for clarifying a critical part of my mother's father's people's, who migrated from the islands into Florida Louisiana and Mississippi.

Honor and Respect.
