The Seminoles of Florida

** "The Seminoles of Florida" by Minnie Moore-Willson is a late 1800s historical narrative that tells of the Seminole tribe's life and troubles while living in America. The story probably tells about how they struggled to avoid being forced off their land, and what happened during the many fights with the U.S. government. The author begins by describing how colonization had awful consequences for Native American groups, especially the Seminoles and shows their determination to stay in Florida even when people tried to make them leave. The story looks at how the Seminoles and European settlers first interacted, talking about themes such as kindness, being betrayed, and fighting to rule themselves. The writer seems to feel sorry for and admire the Seminoles, who were proud but treated unfairly, and wants people to think about how strong they were and how hard they fought against being treated badly. **
