The Seminole Wars were the Native American Wars that lasted the longest amount of time in United States history.
 Tensions grew between the Seminoles and settlers in the newly independent United States in the early 1800s, mainly because enslaved people regularly fled from Georgia into Spanish Florida, prompting slaveowners to conduct slave raids across the border
 Seminoles shadowed the marching soldiers for five days, and they ambushed them and wiped out the command on December 28
