Florida Seminole Indian War __ "Florida in the early 19th Century was home to the Seminole Indians. The Seminole had bitterly opposed the coming of the white man. Raids were made against white settlements in Georgia, just across the Florida border. In 1818 General Andrew Jackson was sent to patrol the border with 800 regular troops and an additional 900 Georgia volunteers. Jackson wasted no time in asserting his authority. Seminole villages were burned to the ground. The Seminoles were chased all the way to West Florida, territory under Spanish control. Jackson took control of Seminole Forts as he went, inflicting punishment upon British and Spanish traders who had aided the Seminoles."

Handbook of Texas Online: Seminole Indians __ Good look at Seminole history. "The Seminole Indians, as a distinct group, are of fairly recent origin. In the southeastern United States, almost every Indian who was not a Cherokee, Choctaw, or Chickasaw was considered a Creek. This classification consisted of a large number of tribes. When the Spanish and English struggled for control of the southeast during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the English encouraged the Creeks to make war on the tribes in Spanish-occupied territories. The Creeks nearly exterminated many of the Florida tribes, leaving a void into which many of the Creeks moved. These Indian frontiersmen became known as Seminoles, a Creek word meaning "wild," or "people who live at a distance." - From state Historical Association - http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/view/SS/bms19.html
