August 7, 1856 A delegation of Oklahoma Seminoles signs a treaty in Washington agreeing to accept payments for western Seminoles. This is the first time the Seminoles are officially recognized as separate from the Creeks by the U.S. government.
1953 The termination of the Seminole Tribe is proposed by the U.S. House Resolution. When the Seminoles learn of the possible termination of the Tribe, they work with Rex Quinn to organize politically and gain federal recognition. 1957 The Seminole Constitution is ratified by a vote of 241-5. The Tribe gains federal status as the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The government consists of a Council and a Board. Billy Osceola is elected as the first Chairman. Frank Billie is the first Tribal President; he resigns and is succeeded by Bill Osceola.
Ah, yes. I’ve read about the first one. I think I just didn’t include it cause I didn’t feel like it was related enough to the war. The other two are really interesting! Thank you for sharing!
Spaniards didn't exterminate natives as english and americans did... In Latin America, despite there isn't much native people left, the vast majority of the population is mixed... Since Isabella the Catholic, the instructions of the spanish conquerors were assimilate and christianize, not exterminate.
@@HistoryHouseProductions YES IT WAS BEST VIDEO I SEARCHED UP YOUR CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE I HAVE LOCATED THE FUNNY AND THE FUNNY IS YOUR CHANNEL IM LEARNING AND LAUGHING AT THE SAME TIME THANK YOU
Fun facts: 1. The Second Seminole war was not only the the longest Indian war in American History, but also the most costly. 2. Near the end of the second war. Public support was actually going *against* the war. Sort of like another swamp war that America got involved in over 100 years later. 3. The Florida Seminoles were one of the first Native Americans to build Casinos (they even own a large part of the hard rock hotel/casino chain)
i grew up very close to many of the battlegrounds, and as a kid in elementary i had the fortune of being visited in class by surviving seminoles to educate us about their stories. thank you for your video, it was very informative!
Thanks, I thoroughly enjoyed this. I’m from central Fla. and the region has pretty much wholesale forgotten about these conflicts but it’s impact is seen everywhere. Many towns in my county started as forts during this war. There are many old legends and ghost stories about this conflict that have just been forgotten as the area urbanized in the past 60-70 years. There was an old tree called the “council oak”, which has now been gone for many decades, yet it was said that the Indians often planned their attacks, perhaps even the Dade massacre, under the shade of the oak. This is a few miles south of Orlando, which is supposed to have gotten its name from a soldier named “Orlando Reeves”, who was stationed at a certain Fort Gatlin. He happened to be on night patrol when he noticed a log floating in the pond nearby, slowly moving. Realizing this was a set-up, he sounded the alarm only to be felled by an arrow. They buried him a few miles north and planted a sapling on his grave with the name “Orlando” carved into it. A generation later, a new village was forming. The old timers would lament about the “grave of Orlando”, and the name stuck. Zero evidence to suggest this story is true, but it’s a nice sentiment.
I’m 1/8th Seminole Indian and I have an old book documenting some things like this, and it’s nice know that people are documenting what really happened. This is also very funny! (In a good way) :)
When Osceola died the doctor took his head and put it in a museum. A museum his sons totally deny breaking into, liberating the head from and burning to the ground. His head was later reburied with his body. On a totally unrelated note you know what a human scalp looks like? A hairy piece of bacon.
Cimarrón, is a Spanish word for something domesticated going wild (not simply "wild ones"). Is an accurate name for that time to people who run away from Spanish control or slaves from USA. We normally use that word for horses and gods. For horses we also use mesteño or mestengo, that means "without owner" from that comes the word "mustang".
So to make the correction (just cause i must) the area that Major dade (the guy who 2 units were ambushed starting the second seminole war) was actually in relatively dry palmetto land (basically palmetto bushes the needle pine trees as i call em and such) just incase anyone wanted to know this.
If I'm not mistaken..Osceola didn't shoot ambasseter ..he shot a reservation agent..or reservation organizer ..the one who demanded the Seminole to leave and go to Oklahoma..at the meeting where Osceola stabbed the papers ..instead of signing them for agreement to go.
Yeah! I’m blanking on the name right now, but I just called him “the ambassador” because that’s vaguely what his job was and then I don’t have to explain it. XD
You should make more videos about the tribes in America. I feel as though a lot of people think most of the wars were fought cowboy style with bows vs revolvers, but videos like these might help break that stereotype. It also help define that most natives didn't have a unified culture and all had much nuances, like the freed slaves.
@@HistoryHouseProductions Yeah the only ones that would probably have good sources are either the Iroquois since they had a lot of contact with Europeans and were pretty important in their time.
My great grandma, my grandpa, great aunts and great uncles all were raised by people who lived through this. None would use a $20 because it had his face on it.
Cimarrones doesn't mean wild ones. Noun. Cimarron (plural Cimarrons) A Maroon (an African who escaped slavery in the Americas, or a descendant thereof), especially a member of the Cimarron people of Panama. They were referring to the black Seminole freed slaves
There was no population in Florida until Disney World was built there. Prior that is literally was just old people and before old people were invented it was just those Seminoles.
@@HistoryHouseProductions Yeah, that's true, but I'm talking about the Spanish word "cimarrón", which means maroon. I think you said in the video something about it meaning colourfull ir something
Its been 4 years since I first saw this video and I still use Andrew "this land is my land" Jackson when referring to him. They either laugh or don't get it
I like your vids my dude and it may be to to a defect in myself in education but whenever i watch a British take on American history it always has this taste..not necessarily malicious but bitter. I hope to remedy this affliction, if it occurs within myself and wish you a happy life, my British cousin.
A cimarron in Dutch was run away cattle. A marron was however usually a black african run away from a plantation. Marrons and Dutch made peace after war and marrons got quite some land in Suriname. And now they are friends.
@@HistoryHouseProductions great. Could I please ask you to consider African history. There is so much but sadly is not given a voice, even among Africans themselves. It can be great to see some people pick up on the history.
History House Productions Yep, I learned about it at the Wells’Built Museum of African American History and Culture, which was a really good place to learn about the geneal history of Orlando as well.
I've watched a few of your videos, but the "this is my land" skit at the beginning of the video had me hitting the sub button and bell. Had me in tears of laughter! Brilliant. :)
