Description
The Seminoles of Florida had evolved mainly from various tribes who had been driven from their homelands by European immigrants settling further north, and were boosted by refugees from slavery in the plantations. As European immigrant control spread, there were more clashes with Indians, and their refusal to return runaway slaves added to the calls by many in the north to have them removed further west, by force if necessary. In what would now be condemned as ethnic cleansing, this policy was enacted in a series of actions by the US Government, principally three Seminole Wars between 1818 and 1858, when most of the Indians were eventually transported west. Although several sets have previously depicted the Indians further west, this is the first to depict the Seminoles.
