Question

B. It negotiated peace with Chief Osceola.
C. It built a new reservation in southern Florida.
D. It extended the time to relocate from three to five years.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. It attacked Seminole villages.

The Treaty of Payne's Landing, signed in 1832, was intended to relocate the Seminole tribe from Florida to lands west of the Mississippi River. However, the U.S. government faced significant resistance from the Seminoles, particularly under the leadership of Chief Osceola. In an attempt to enforce the treaty, U.S. forces resorted to military action, which included attacking Seminole villages, leading to the outbreak of the Second Seminole War.
