The Seminole reacted differently from the Cherokee and Choctaw in several ways when the United States government asked them to move west:
1. They held out for a higher payment for their land before agreeing to move: Unlike the Cherokee and Choctaw, who were forced to sign treaties and cede their lands, the Seminole people demanded higher compensation for their territory in Florida. They resisted the initial negotiations and did not agree to move until they were promised better terms.
2. They suffered sickness and death along the "Trail of Tears": Similar to the Cherokee and Choctaw, the Seminole people also experienced sickness and death during their forced removal. The journey westward, often referred to as the "Trail of Tears," was arduous and devastating for many Native American tribes. The Seminole faced the same hardships, including exposure, disease, and inadequate provisions during their relocation.
3. They resisted and fought three wars against the United States government: The Seminole put up significant resistance against the United States government's attempts to remove them from their lands. From 1817 to 1858, the Seminole Wars were fought between the Seminole tribe and the United States military. These conflicts were primarily driven by the Seminole's refusal to leave their ancestral lands and their desire to protect their sovereignty.
It is worth noting that while some Seminole individuals and communities agreed to move west willingly, others vehemently resisted and fought against the United States government's removal policies.
