Big Cypress Shootout Reenactment


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzYnh48S644
I got this video from YouTube after extensive research to find the most epic video on the Seminole Indians that I possibly could. It not only shows battle footage but also everyday life during that time period, along with common dress for that time period. I enjoyed watching this video for it helped me to get a mental picture of what the battles were really like back then.
This video shows how the warfare was for the Seminole compared to the US army at the time. They weren't used to hiding and shooting, they were trained to fight out in the open in ranks so that they could shoot volleys. This guerrilla style warfare helped the Seminole withstand the US armies massive numbers compared to their few thousand.
