[Fredrick Danysh · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Seminole were the major tribe of Indians in Florida. An offshoot of the Creek tribes, they did not condone slavery and accepted runaway slaves into the tribe. Hidden in Florida's swamps they took on the United States military led by Oscela in a decades long war.
