The passage of the Indian Removal Act of 1830 resulted in the second battle of Seminole Wars (1835-1842).
The Seminole Wars were three conflicts based in Florida between the Seminole Tribe and the United States Army. The conflict was based on Seminoles fighting back against the forcible removal of Native Americans to federal reservations. The Seminoles, who were outnumbered, used guerilla “hit and run” war tactics that are still studied today.
