Seminole Wars
Years: 1817 - 1858
The Seminole Wars, also known as the Florida Wars, are three conflicts in Florida between the Seminole, a Native American tribe that had formed in Florida in the early eighteenth century, and the United States Army.
The First Seminole War is from 1817 to 1818; the Second Seminole War from 1835 to 1842; and the Third Seminole War from 1855 to 1858.
Taken together, the Seminole Wars are the longest and most expensive (both in human and monetary terms) of the Indian Wars in United States history.
