Second Seminole War Concludes in Florida

August 14th, 1842 182 years ago

The Second Seminole War concluded with the signing of a peace treaty on August 14, 1842, which forced the remaining Seminole people to leave Florida. This conflict, which spanned from 1835 to 1842, stemmed from the U.S. government’s attempt to remove the Seminoles from their ancestral lands in Florida to territories west of the Mississippi River. As a result, thousands were displaced, and their resistance highlighted the complexities of U.S. Indian policy during the period.
