塞米諾爾戰爭
The war resulted in most of the Seminole population in Florida being killed in battle, ravaged by starvation and disease, or relocated to Indian Territory (in modern Oklahoma). A few hundred Seminoles were allowed to remain in an unofficial reservation in southwest Florida.
戰爭導致佛羅里達大部分塞米諾爾人要麼在戰爭中死亡,被飢餓和疾病蹂躪,要麼被迫遷移到印第安人的領地(今俄克拉荷馬)。幾百個塞米諾爾人被允許留在佛羅里達州西南部的一個非官方保護區。
The Third Seminole War (1855–1858) was again the result of Seminoles responding to settlers and U.S. Army scouting parties encroaching on their lands, perhaps deliberately to provoke a violent response that would result in the removal of the last of the Seminoles from Florida.
第三次塞米諾爾戰爭(1855年- 1858年),又是塞米諾爾人對移民和美國陸軍偵察隊侵佔他們土地抗爭的結果,或許也是故意挑起的戰爭,最終將導致塞米諾爾人徹底搬出弗羅里達。
After an army surveying crew found and destroyed a Seminole plantation west of the Everglades in December 1855, Chief Billy Bowlegs led a raid near FortMyers, setting off a conflict which consisted mainly of raids and reprisals, with no large battles fought.
1855年12月,一名軍方偵察員發現並摧毀了埃弗格萊茲以西的塞米諾種植園之後,比利·鮑曼斯(Billy Bowlegs)領導了一場對邁爾斯堡(FortMyers)的突襲,一場始於報復性突襲的衝突,但沒有大規模的戰爭發生。
American forces again strove to destroy the Seminoles" food supply, and in 1858, most of the remaining Seminoles, weary of war and facing starvation, agreed to be shipped to Oklahoma in exchange for promises of safe passage and cash payments to their chiefs. An estimated 400 Seminoles still refused to leave and retreated deep into the Everglades to live on land that was unwanted by white settlers.
美國軍隊再次努力地想要摧毀塞米諾人的食物供應,在1858年,幾乎所有剩下的塞米諾人,已經厭倦了戰爭,並面臨飢餓,他們同意被送到俄克拉荷馬州的交換中心,以保證安全和與首長的現金交付。據估計,約有400名塞米諾爾人仍拒絕離開,並深入沼澤地,住在白人定居者所不願居住的土地上。
