The video will focus on the history and culture of the Seminoles, the wars against the USA and one of their leaders - Osceola.

So the Seminoles were apparently crazy enough to not surrender to an overwhelming force and they hunted alligators? I think we might have found the original Florida men.

I’m a Florida native and I’ve never heard Seminole pronounced “Semin-Ollie” pretty sure it’s Seminole.

I once met a Seminole named Paul who was living in Colorado. He invited my sister and I into his off grid home for the evening. He had long red hair and big blue eyes. He sang to us, plus he had some of the most beautiful art pieces that were made from copper and stained glass. He was extremely talented artistically, so much so that he had written and sold out a musical. He was also really very kind. He told us that he didn't like being around people much but that we were always welcome back. We had such a nice time. I don't know Paul's last name and we were in such a remote part of Colorado that I could never find my way back to his house. He had such beautiful energy, he's one person I wish I could find so I could listen to him sing and admire his art again.

I also remembered Florida State trying to charge the Seminoles a rental tax.The case came to an end when Chief Billie told them ok, but the turnpike goes through our land, we will just build a toll booth. That was the end of the case . This was in Broward County Florida. Love Chief Billie

Growing up in Florida, it’s crazy how many famous Indian names are incorporated into everyday life

Thank you, being a native of Florida many of our roads, cities, and counties are named after these native people but the history of them is rarely taught. It's awesome to learn the back story of this beautiful land.

I was born and raised in Miami. My dad made sure we understood Seminole origins (slavery included)and their heroic history. Hearing the name pronounced as 4 syllables made me clench my teeth but I'm so glad the tribe is finally being recognized for their unique place in history. Too bad others didn't find a defensible refuge where whites couldn't exploit/destroy who they were.

Being Cherokee myself i can honestly and proudly say that it would be most wonderful to have this blood flowing through my veins also. Nothing but love and respect for these people and their ways 💯💖🙏

[mikhailmaimoonahoward]

The Seminole natives of the Jaguar Clan helped my family escape from slavery.We intermarried and still keep a lot of the same traditions today majority of my family still lives in Sanford Florida Keeping both are native African in Seminole traditions alive

Me at the 8 second mark.... He's going to say Seminoley the whole video.

The "e" is silent, it's "sem-in-ol". Another great, informative video. This channel is at the top of my list among a few other similar channels which are all excellent sources of military history. I also appreciate the effort to explain the politics from both sides of these historical clashes as well the smaller details which many other sources rarely include such as the importance of resources for the war effort which was critical for success on any battlefield.

A good comander understood the importance of carefully selecting the route toward a field of battle, and the ability to protect baggage trains and lines of communication, as quite often a battle field could be several miles/kilometers wide.

Ceasar's success as a tactician would not have been possible had he not been an absolute master at procuring food and other essential resources, not only for his soldiers, but also for thd horses and elephants and any other brasts of burden. An example of a detail most never even consider when we're enjoying these awesome videos is the need for, and extremely important aspect of all these ancient battles is blacksmiths. Without blacksmiths, and steel you won't last very long!

Horses need constant care, a hobbled horse very quickly becomes a meal on four legs, and you can't have cavalry if your horses are in your belly!
Blacksmiths were an absolut necessity for making and repairing armour, as well as many, many other mundane aspects of daily life. Anything that required steel was made by blacksmiths, nails for building seigeworks etc.

I guess I really appreciate this channel because it rises above most other channels which focus on battles only and leave out all these really essential, and extremely interesting details.

Thank you!

As a former combat Infantryman, my hat is off to those who fought and died bravely defending against federal aggression. 🙏⚡️

"We are losing terrain for those damn americans, chief! What we must do?!"

"So we gonna beat them in their own terms... We will become businessmen!"

And those 100 Seminoles that remained in South FL became the Miccosukee tribe and have their own reservation today. They inhabited what is the Tamiami Trail and set up shop and home along the trail that runs East from Miami, West to Naples. The Miccosukke’s are one of many different tribes that make up the Seminole nation.

I’m a native of FL, from Miami. Absolutely brilliant video!

[Sunnyrezzychild]

Man just hearing the war-cries of our people fighting for our land and ways of life, it gives me goosebumps. Makes me sad n angry n proud all at the same time, it’s kinda hard to explain. We are still here✊🏽

[Samevistan]

Absolutely remarkable. They never left their land. Makes complete sense why hurricanes never destroy the area. Their magic has merit through the sacrifice they’ve made through immeasurable odds.

[Shinbusan]

As a Polish citizen I never heard Seminole story or how black men were finding their place in the indian territory. Awesome piece of history. I would gladly here more stories about Native Americans. Thanks!

[jasonboney]

As a Native American I enjoy when you make a video of our people’s.

[williambailey]

my great grandma walked the trail of tears, she passed well before i was born but an aunt told me the trail earned its name. she also told me the warriors knew how to talk to the alligators, when they retreated to the swamp, they could tell them to attack the soldiers.

[mrhanekoma]

I’m a Shawnee Native and I grew up in Oklahoma where many of us ended up. We are still here, that’s why I know the Seminole and I feel like being pedantic and saying that when they say their tribe name it ryhmes with “hole” not “holy” almost like “seminal”
