What events led to the second Seminole war select all that apply

Answer 1

The events that led to the Second Seminole War include:

1. The signing of the Treaty of Payne's Landing in 1832, which proposed the removal of the Seminole people from Florida to the Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma).

2. The refusal of many Seminole leaders, including Chief Osceola, to accept the terms of the treaty and leave their lands. They resisted the efforts of the U.S. government to remove them.

3. The escalation of tensions between white settlers and Seminole tribes due to conflicts over land, resources, and the expansion of American settlements in Florida.

4. The capture and imprisonment of Osceola in 1837 during a supposed truce negotiation, which resulted in widespread anger and increased resistance among the Seminole people.

5. The assassination of Indian agent Wiley Thompson in 1836, which further strained relations between the Seminoles and the U.S. government.

6. The outbreak of open warfare in December 1835, when the Seminoles launched attacks on American settlements and military outposts, initiating the Second Seminole War.
