I am glad I can help. You being African American, how does it make you feel that Black American slaves were actually fighting back and leading large scale slave revolts? Yet none of this is never heard of... It makes me feel proud. I already knew that black people didn't lay down and take abuse. However, it's great to learn more specific dates of these events. At the same time I'm not surprised this was kept secret. White supremacy has tried it's hardest to erase Black history, but the TRUTH shall prevail. how is this stuff secret

The real reason the subject matter is ignored is because the Seminoles were Black Indian Aboriginals.
This is why they fought so hard. They were in fact never slaves.
Not all black in the world were African slaves!!!!!
To acknowledge this would open another huge can of worms for the historical narrative.

Can you back the statement that the Seminoles were Black indigines rather than people who are of African descent whose ancestors were once enslaved. Also the Seminoles fought hard and brave for freedom and to establish a homeland but they were by no means the only ones,once enslaved Africans in the Caribbean and through the Americas fought just as hard with varying degrees of success never to be taken back into captivity again ever! the Maroons did this in Jamaica so did Yanga of Mexico and Africans who fought the Dutch and Portuguese in places like Suriname and Brazil creating not just free communities but free states,Haiti which we have the most dramatic example,this is not to say there were no such folks living in the Americas but the Seminoles were not one of them.
