Detailed explanation-1: -A small group of Seminoles was coerced into signing a removal treaty in 1833, but the majority of the tribe declared the treaty illegitimate and refused to leave. The resulting struggle was the Second Seminole War, which lasted from 1835 to 1842.
Detailed explanation-2: -Run-ins with white settlers were becoming more regular by the turn of the century. Settlers wanted Indian land and their former slaves back. After passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830, the U.S. government attempted to relocate Seminoles to Oklahoma, causing yet another war–the Second Seminole War.
Detailed explanation-3: -Between 1835 and 1842, almost 3, 000 Seminoles were removed to Oklahoma. For every two Indians removed, one American soldier died. The Second Seminole War was the bloodiest and longest in United States history. In 1842, the U.S. government withdrew and the Seminole Indians never signed a peace treaty.
Detailed explanation-4: -Since Indian tribes living there appeared to be the main obstacle to westward expansion, white settlers petitioned the federal government to remove them.
