The Second Seminole War (1835–1842) was the last major conflict fought on American soil before the Civil War. The early battlefield success of the Seminoles unnerved US generals, who worried it would spark a rebellion among Indians newly displaced by President Andrew Jackson's removal policies. The presence of black warriors among the Seminoles also agitated southerners wary of slave revolt. A lack of decisive victories and a series of bad decisions—among them the capture of Seminole leader Osceola while under the white flag of truce—damaged the US Army's reputation at home and abroad. Desertion was rampant as troops contended with the subtropical Florida wilderness. And losses for the Seminoles were devastating; by the war's end, only a few hundred remained in Florida. In his ambitious study, C. S. Monaco explores the far-reaching repercussions of this bloody, expensive campaign. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Monaco not only places this protracted conflict within a military context but also engages the various environmental, medical, and social aspects to uncover the war's true significance and complexity. By examining the Second Seminole War through the lenses of race, Jacksonian democracy, media and public opinion, American expansion, and military strategy, Monaco offers an original perspective on a misunderstood and often-neglected chapter in our history. "This highly recommended title replaces John K. Mahon's History of the Second Seminole War, 1835–1842 as the definitive work on the conflict. Essential."—Choice "An important book on an often-neglected topic. Monaco is a skilled writer. He has distilled extensive archival research from across the United States—along with a robust list of newspapers and published memoirs—into eleven succinct chapters. Monaco's work will surely be a valuable resource for historians and students of American Indian Removal in the coming years."—Civil War Book Review "A strong contribution to American history, in the current paradigm of settler-colonial studies. Monaco writes with fascinating ecological insight, keenly critical revisions of standard ideas, access to newly discovered documentary sources, and a commendable sense that he is writing about perception and rhetoric as much as about (sometimes unascertainable) fact."—lection

From 1817 to 1858, the United States government engaged in a bitter conflict with the Seminole Nation. This conflict would result in three distinct wars. The Second Seminole War (1835-1842) was conducted under the Indian Removal Policy of the 1830's. This war was a result of the American plantation societies' relentless efforts to enslave the Black Seminole population. The United States government's objective became to return as many Black Seminoles, if not all, to slavery. Evidence proves that the efforts of the U.S. military to place Blacks in bondage were not only a major underlying theme throughout the War, but at various points, the primary goal. It is clear that from the onset of the war, the United States government, military, and state militias grossly underestimated both the determination and the willingness of the Black Seminole to resist at all cost. Thus, this book will not only make the argument that the Second Seminole War was indeed a slave rebellion, but perhaps the most successful one in United States' history.

From 1835 to 1842 the United States was engaged in the longest and costliest of all American Indian Wars in history - the Second Seminole War. The Second Seminole War pitted one of the bravest and most valiant of all Native American Tribes - the Seminoles - against the United States government, which was rapidly expanding into Florida. At the time, Florida was a long way from being the retirement and vacation hotspot that it is today, but was instead more like the "wild west" of the late nineteenth century as American settlers and Seminoles fought each other over prime farmland. Florida's history goes back well before the American Revolutionary War; the Spanish built the city of Saint Augustine on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in the sixteenth century, which makes it the oldest city in the United States. After the United States acquired Florida from Spain in the early nineteenth century, the territory was inundated a by an influx of American settlers who clashed with the Seminoles, which eventually led to one of the greatest Indian wars in American history. Open the pages of this book and you will quickly find yourself in the middle of an epic war that was carried out by some incredible personalities. Ride with General Zachary Taylor as he chases the Seminoles into the Everglades and sit with Chief Osceola as he tells his people great Native American tales in order to inspire them in battle. Upon reading this book you will find that the Second Seminole War was not only an example of an epic Native American war, as it spanned the entire territory and took place for nearly seven years, but it was also a national tragedy. Truly the Second Seminole War played in integral role in Native American History in early nineteenth century America in terms of Indian removal, but has since become an important part of every American's history.

"Sketch of the Seminole War" is an informative first-hand account of the early stages of the Second Seminole War, told by a young South Carolina volunteer serving in Winfield Scott's campaign of early 1836. William Wragg Smith was a keen observer, not only of the war, but of the world around him. Besides giving a detailed account of his own participation in the war, Smith explains the causes of the war as seen from the perspective of a Southern Planter. Scientifically inclined, Smith also took notes on the flora and fauna of Florida, and was able to compile an extensive vocabulary of Seminole words and phrases. For students of the Seminole Wars, this book is a must-have.Long out of print, this new edition edited by Debra K. Harper contains features not found in facsimile editions. These include an Introduction, Index, Table of Contents, and Endnotes, all designed to aid researchers studying this important but long-forgotten conflict. Sketches of the Seminole War is published by the Seminole Wars Foundation, Inc., a non-profit institution dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of knowledge about America's longest and costliest Indian war.
