  • Chief Bowlegs and the Banana Garden: a Reassessment of the Beginning of the Third Seminole War
    CHIEF BOWLEGS AND THE BANANA GARDEN: A REASSESSMENT OF THE BEGINNING OF THE THIRD SEMINOLE WAR by JOHN D. SETTLE B.A. University of Central Florida, 2011 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2015 Major Professor: Daniel Murphree © 2015 John Settle ii ABSTRACT This study examines in depth the most common interpretation of the opening of the Third Seminole War (1855-1858). The interpretation in question was authored almost thirty years after the beginning of the war, and it alleges that the destruction of a Seminole banana plant garden by United States soldiers was the direct cause of the conflict. This study analyzes the available primary records as well as traces the entire historiography of the Third Seminole War in order to ascertain how and why the banana garden account has had such an impactful and long-lasting effect. Based on available evidence, it is clear that the lack of fully contextualized primary records, combined with the failure of historians to deviate from or challenge previous scholarship, has led to a persistent reliance on the banana garden interpretation that continues to the present. Despite the highly questionable and problematic nature of this account, it has dominated the historiography on the topic and is found is almost every written source that addresses the beginning of the Third Seminole War. This thesis refutes the validity of the banana garden interpretation, and in addition, provides alternative explanations for the Florida Seminoles’ decision to wage war against the United States during the 1850s.

  • Territorial Florida Castillo De San Marcos National Monument Second Seminole War, 1835-1842 St
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Territorial Florida Castillo de San Marcos National Monument Second Seminole War, 1835-1842 St. Augustine, Florida ( Seminole Indians, c. 1870 Southern Migration The original native inhabitants of Florida had all but disappeared by 1700. European diseases and the losses from nearly constant colonial warfare had reduced the population to a mere handful. Bands from various tribes in the southeastern United States pressured by colonial expansion began moving into the unoccupied lands in Florida. These primarily Creek tribes were called Cimarrones by the Spanish “strays” or “wanderers.” This is the probable origin of the name Seminole. Runaway slaves or “Maroons” also began making their way into Florida where they were regularly granted freedom by the Spanish. Many joined the Indian villages and integrated into the tribes. Early Conflict During the American Revolution the British, who controlled Florida from 1763 to 1784, recruited the Seminoles to raid rebel frontier settlements in Georgia. Both sides engaged in a pattern of border raiding and incursion which continued sporadically even after Florida returned to Spanish control after the war. Despite the formal treaties ending the war the Seminoles remained enemies of the new United States. Growing America At the beginning of the 19th century the rapidly growing American population was pushing onto the frontiers in search of new land. Many eyes turned southward to the Spanish borderlands of Florida and Texas. Several attempts at “filibustering,” private or semi-official efforts to forcibly take territory, occurred along the frontiers. The Patriot War of 1812 was one such failed American effort aimed at taking East Florida.

    John and Mary Lou Missall A SHORT HISTORY OF THE SEMINOLE WARS SEMINOLE WARS FOUNDATION, INC. Founded 1992 Pamphlet Series Vol. I, No. 2 2006 Copyright © 2006 By John & Mary Lou Missall Series Editor: Frank Laumer Seminole Wars Foundation, Inc. 35247 Reynolds St. Dade City, FL 33523 www.seminolewars.us 2 Florida During the Second Seminole War 3 The Seminole Wars Florida’s three Seminole Wars were important events in American history that have often been neglected by those who tell the story of our nation’s past. These wars, which took place between the War of 1812 and the Civil War, were driven by many forces, ranging from the clash of global empires to the basic need to protect one’s home and family. They were part of the great American economic and territorial expansion of the nineteenth century, and were greatly influenced by the national debate over the issue of slavery. In particular, the Second Seminole War stands out as the nation’s longest, costli- est, and deadliest Indian war. Lasting almost seven years, the conflict cost thousands of lives and millions of dollars, yet faded from the nation’s collective memory soon after the fighting ended. It is a story that should not have been forgotten, a story that can teach us lessons that are still relevant today. It is in hopes of restoring a portion of that lost mem- ory that the Seminole Wars Foundation offers this short history of one of our nation’s longest wars. Seminole Origins The ancestors of the Seminole Indians were primarily Creek Indians from Georgia and Alabama who migrated to Florida during the 18th century after the decimation of the aboriginal natives under Spanish rule.

  • Seminole War Period Towns and Camps Tallahassee
    Seminole War period Towns and Camps Tallahassee Tallahassee (Also called Anhaica) was home to thousands of Muskogee speaking people. American forces burned Tallahasee to the ground at the start of the war. Later American settlers would build their own city, while keeping the Native name. Miccosukee Like Tallahassee, Miccosukee was a large town, with thousands of people living there. It was targeted early by Americans, who plundered and raised the town. Suwanee River This river was home to both Seminole people and free Black communities. The Black communities were largely made of escaped slaves from American plantations, but many in the early 1800s were born free in Florida. The two communities traded and worked together, and many Americans referred to them as Black Seminoles. Big City Island Long a home to the Tequesta people, Big City Island was a refuge for Seminole people during the War until Fort Lauderdale was established. Sam Jones Camp (Treetops) Abiaka (Sam Jones) established this camp during the war to be far from the Front Lines of battle Billy Bowlegs Village Billy Bowlegs and his family made their homes here during the height of the War. Billy Bowlegs Camp 3rd The home camp of Billy Bowlegs when he led the Seminole near the end of the War. It was sacked by U.S. Army scouts, and the retaliation led to a new declaration of war by the United States. Sam Jones Town (BC) Abiaka (Sam Jones) chose this area to evade American patrols. He and his followers remained hidden through the end of the War.

  • A Diary of the Billy Bowlegs War
    "The Firing of Guns and Crackers Continued Till Light" A Diary of the Billy Bowlegs War edited with commentary by Gary R. Mormino Historians have evoked a number of powerful metaphors to capture the spirit of the American adventure, but none arouses more emotion than the image of the frontier. The sweep across the con- tinent, the inexorable push westward emboldened democratic rhetoric and rugged individualism. Free land awaited pioneers willing to fight Indians. South Florida played a critical role in the history of the American frontier. At a time when fur trappers and mountain men explored the Rocky Mountains, the region south of Tampa was virgin territory. The erection of Fort Brooke in 1824 played a paradoxical role in the development of Tampa; on the one hand, it served as the begin- ning of the modern city; on the other hand, military regulations encumbered civilian growth around the fort. Tampa was to be the cutting edge of the newest frontier, an ethnic beachhead for Irish soldiers, Southern cavaliers, New England Yankees, African slaves, and Seminole warriors. In the 1830s it was a collection of wildly divergent ethnic groups held together by the rigorous demands of frontier life, and, after 1835, the omnipresent fear of Indian attack. A clash of people tested the future of Florida. Would the future architects of South Florida be homesteading pioneers or Seminole Indians? Would Tampa be cordoned by a 256-mile military reserva- tion, or be thrown open to homesteading white settlers? Two terrible wars were fought to answer these questions. Gary Mormino is an associate professor of history at the University of South Florida in Tampa and executive director of the Florida Historical Society.

Although a number of Seminole chiefs, along with representatives of all the other Civilized Tribes, were bullied or cajoled into signing a treaty with the Confederacy, before the war was over it was estimated that two-thirds of the Seminole Indians and practically all their Negroes were within the Union lines.

  • Names and Places 03-25-2005.Pub
    Names and Places Historical Illiteracy is a major concern nationwide and is reflected locally in how we name our streets and places. A recent survey of our street names in Jupiter indicate a major disconnect with our rich historic past. Some of this failure to remember our history is created by town planners, politicians and developers who either failed to know our history, or worse, are indifferent to it. List here are some of the people and the events that took place in Florida and especially in Jupiter that are historically significant. When Juan Ponce de Leon put ashore at the Jupiter Inlet in the spring of 1513, he and his men had a brief skirmish with the hostile “Jobe” tribe. Forced to leave, he moved south where he met the friendly “Abaioa” tribe, whose friendship he mentions hi his ship’s log. Developers were right this time in using this name, with a slight change, to “Abacoa,” however, they could have given him some recognition by naming one of the streets, “Ponce de Leon Blvd.” Many of the names we see in Florida had their origin dating back to the Seminole Wars (1817- 1858). For over forty years the Seminoles fought the Army, Navy and Marines to a standstill; they still consider themselves the “unconquered people.” (Wars ended in Truce not Treaty). The names include famous Indians and U.S. soldiers and sailors who were sent here to remove the Seminoles and send them west of the Mississippi to Indian Territory. Many of the soldiers fought in local battles or were assigned to the Jupiter area; many were famous in American history.

  • Seminole War Reading List
    Seminole War Reading List To complement the exhibit Struggle for Survival, 1817-1858, we would like to suggest the following readings which offers a great variety of perspectives. Many of these books are available for purchase in our Museum Store. Most resources listed here, both published and unpublished, are also available for research in the Museum Library. The Library is open to the public, by appointment, so please call us if you’re interested! Available from the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum Store: America’s Hundred Year War Edited by William S. Belko University Press of Florida, 2011 “Featuring essays on topics ranging from international diplomacy to Seminole military strategy, the volume urges us to reconsider the reasons for and impact of early U.S. territorial expansion. It highlights the actions and motivations of Indians and African Americans during the period and establishes the groundwork for research that is more balanced and looks beyond the hopes and dreams of whites. America's Hundred Years' War offers more than a chronicle of the politics and economics of international rivalry. It provides a narrative of humanity and inhumanity, arrogance and misunderstanding, and outright bloodshed between vanquisher and vanquished as well,” University Press of Florida website. Amidst a Storm of Bullets: The Diary of Lt. Henry Prince in Florida 1836-1842 Edited by Frank Laumer University of Tampa Press, 1998 “The Second Seminole War’s day-to-day reality can be discovered in no single source better than through the Henry Prince diary.
