How did the Seminole react differently from the Cherokee and Choctaw when the united stars government wanted them to move west?

The Seminole refused to move west and instead fought against the US government in a series of wars known as the Seminole Wars. The Seminole also adopted a policy of resistance, which included raiding US settlements, burning crops, and destroying infrastructure. The Seminole also adopted a policy of assimilation, which included intermarrying with African Americans and allowing them to become members of their tribe. This was in stark contrast to the Cherokee and Choctaw, who were forced to sign treaties and relocate to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma).
