"Guerrilla War in the Swamps
By the end of the engagement, 108 of the 110 soldiers were dead or dying. Private Ransom Clarke and Private Joseph Sprague survived with severe wounds. A third man escaped but died the next day.
Halpatter Tustenuggee helped plan the ambush. 'We had been preparing for this more than a year,' he later said. 'Just as the day was breaking, we moved out of the swamp into the pine-barren. I counted, by direction of Jumper, one hundred and eighty warriors.'
On the same day, Osceola's warriors attacked Fort King. They killed Indian Agent Wiley Thompson and six others. Thompson had been enforcing Seminole removal. News of the massacres spread across the nation. Americans demanded military action.
(. . .)
General Thomas Jesup took command of all U.S. forces in late 1836. He noted the overall racial undertones of the campaign. 'This is a negro, not an Indian war,' he warned. 'If it be not speedily put down, the south will feel the effects of it on their slave population.'
Fewer than 2,000 Seminole warriors faced a U.S. force that grew to 30,000 troops. The numbers meant little. Florida's terrain gave the defenders the advantage. Swamps, sawgrass prairies and dense hammocks made conventional military operations nearly impossible. Summer heat and disease killed more soldiers than combat. Malaria and yellow fever probably caused most of the 1,500 American deaths during the war.
The Seminoles hid their families on remote islands in the Everglades. Warriors struck American troops in unsuspecting ambushes. They disappeared into the terrain where the American soldiers couldn't follow. They used feigned retreats to draw the pursuers into kill zones. They positioned themselves in dense tree islands surrounded by sawgrass and mud, forcing U.S. forces to advance across exposed ground."

In the early days of the web, these were the folks I talked to (via the phone or letters), so I could tell their stories... My friend #BrendaNorrell made me aware of what was going on, and helped me to contact #ThomasBanyacya and #LouiseBenally (and #DannyBillie of the #Seminoles was an old friend)... All of which were instrumental in the #EnvironmentalJustice movement that continues to this day!

Nothing against JJ however he made 2-3 throws last night because they dominated the LOS and had great defense Just goes to show u it’s not always about the best quarterback. Sometimes it’s about the best team #seminoles. Let’s remember this going forward

Jake Browning has played well for the Bengals. I remember people saying Bengals season was over without Joe Burrow.@[email protected] So u don’t say a backup qb can play well ! Someone tell Boo Corrigan this please #seminoles

I don't follow college football but am feeling for #FloridaStateUniversity today. Being undefeated then getting snubbed for a team that lost a game just ain't right.

Analysis: FSU football snub shows need for new playoff system :
The 12-team model won't necessarily produce better champions, but if Florida State and Georgia were playing in playoff games in December we'd all be better off.
