odd huh?lets look at history and find out why this logo is the epitome of disgusting. truly sickening downright evil..
- florida was under the control of spain until 1821
- creek war of 1813-14, various tribes located largely in alabam/georgia were forced out by the US GOVT after they seized more than 21 milion acres
- the most determined and brave fled to spanish forida
- here they joined the descendants of many other tribes whose members had lived all across the Florida for thousands of years. The Indians who constituted the nucleus of this Florida group thought of themselves as yat'siminoli or "free people,"
- because for centuries their ancestors had resisted the attempts of the Spaniards to conquer and convert them, as well as the attempts of the English to take their lands and use them as military pawns. Soon, white Americans would begin to call all of the Indians in Florida by that name: "Seminoles."
-US officials, angry that the Spaniards could not oust the English or control the Indians, were particularly incensed by the protection and shelter the Seminoles offered to African slaves. These freedom seekers had been finding refuge in Spanish Florida for over a century, but the new US government was determined to stop this practice.
- When the military and political opportunist, General Andrew Jackson(7th President of The US), brazenly marched across Florida's international boundaries to settle the "Indian problem," he created an international furor. Over a period of several tumultuous years, he burned Indian towns, captured Africans, and hanged one Maskókî medicine man, Francis, as well as two Englishmen whom he suspected of inciting the Indians. This series of events, which took place between 1814 and 1818, is known as the First Seminole War.
