註釋

Florida's three Seminole Wars, which took place between the War of 1812 and the Civil War, were driven by many forces, ranging from the clash of global empires to the basic need to protect one's home and family. They were part of the great American economic and territorial expansion of the nineteenth century, and were greatly influenced by the national debate over the issue of slavery. In particular, the Second Seminole War stands out as the nation's longest, costliest, and deadliest Indian war. Lasting almost seven years, the conflict cost thousands of lives and millions of dollars. This short history focuses mainly on the Second Seminole War with a brief account of the origins of the Seminoles and the other two wars.
