Forcing out

The Seminole Tribe was pushed out of their homeland reluctantly because they had become accustomed the West.
They were forced on a journey to the “Indian Territory," or what is now called Oklahoma, and the journey caused many deaths in the Seminole tribe due to disease, starvation, and extreme weather.
Refusal of Treaties
Osceola
A quote from one of members of the tribe says, "I love my home, and will not go from it...I say, we must not leave our home and lands." - Osceola
He refused to agree to the treaties which resulted in a bloody and brutal war.
The Treaty
#4
The Seminole tribe sent people to approve their land before they went there and they didn't like what they found but they could either sign the treaty or be abandoned by the government. At first the government might have thought that it would be easy to remove the Indians but it was quite the opposite.
