In the following paragraphs the author chatted on the moments of this nest known as Angola which was situated in Southwestern component to Florida. It tells of how runaway slaves were in alliance with the Seminole Indians and Red Stick Creeks and as well while the major grudge Andrew Knutson had with them. During this period his primary goal was going to destroy the post and forts that they were located in and come back the blacks back to all their slave owners. In my opinion this really is a powerful document because it could have been easy for this kind of group of people to lie down and surrender to Andrew Jackson and his military services, but rather than doing that they decided to stay and fight back for what they will believed in.
All of it started once the founding of Georgia in the early 1730s led to the initiative to strategically find a free dark-colored town north of St Augustine. They called this kind of black community, Fort Mose, it been with us for two years before until Georgians overcome the site only to be repelled by a night time raid by simply Fort Mose’s black chief, Franciso Menendez. After that they rebuilt the colony until the possession of Florida was handed to Great Britian in 1763. Fortification Mose seemed like the initial safe place for blacks, but the government might have felt threatened by simply blacks having their own colony.
As period passed Maroons and Seminole Indians relationship started to progress and the human population of the Maroons started to rise. Once the Patriot War of 1812-1814 arrived even the United states of america got an expression that they were going to always be going against a powerful opponent. That battle led them to flee to present day Polk State. This was the safest location to them since it was near the water and they were able to communicate with their allies in the The spanish language and English empires. In the past it was only likely to get worse for these people because in 1818 information got to the United States and most importantly Andrew Knutson.
He previously had a cuboid to pick with the Red Creek Foes intended for escaping him after fighting in 1812. In regarding 1818 Jackson led breach into Florida Spanish to get back at all those who escaped him in 1812. In my opinion Personally i think like this individual wouldn’t have been satisfied until he burned up down most of Florida.
This kind of invasion triggered the 1st Seminole Battle; those who made it and escaped went to Andros Island, Bahamas. In an interview in 1972, Jan Carew interviewed one rejeton of the tropical isle and talked on what her grandmother told her expressing, She tell me how the Old Ones accustomed to talk bout the look these people white soliders faces when they see Dark fighters looking like they develop outta the swamp turf and the hammocks, coming for them with weapons and cutlass. Jackson get hurt in the Swannee gentleman. The ancestors and forefathers brutalized him there. (10) Jackson was embarrassed that he wasn’t able to complete his objective again and it even more fueled his rage.
Jackson was angered that once he became the chief executive in 1828 pushed a bill called, The Indian Removing Act. This act was put in place to get rid of all Maroons and Creeks out of Florida. I really believe this kind of backside fired as this pushed a few of the Maroons and Creeks to resist and fight back against Jackson.
These types of incidents started up the Second Seminole War in 1835. This kind of passage informed spoke of various groups of persons coming jointly to fight back against what they thought were right during those occasions. Angola and Minatti (present day Manatee) were beacons of liberty for individuals and showed me that not just did White-colored Americans not need Africans totally free, but desired to completely take out Seminole Indians and Creeks out of Florida.
