Detailed explanation-1: -Both the Sauk and Seminole resisted with force but the Sauk lost and was forced to leave while the Seminole had some survivors.
Detailed explanation-2: -When the U.S., enforcing the Removal Act, coerces many Seminoles to march to Indian Territory (which is now known as Oklahoma), some Seminoles and Creeks in Alabama and Florida hide in swamps to avoid forced removal. The descendants of those who escaped have governments and reservations in Florida today.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some Indian nations simply refused to leave their land–the Creeks and the Seminoles even waged war to protect their territory. The First Seminole War lasted from 1817 to 1818. The Seminoles were aided by fugitive slaves who had found protection among them and had been living with them for years.
Detailed explanation-4: -Forced Removal and War Most Seminoles refused to leave voluntarily and the US military invaded to enforce removal. Thousands of Seminoles surrendered or were captured or killed in the fighting. The United States forced those that they captured or who surrendered to Indian Territory as part of the larger Trail of Tears.
