Greeting my fellow classmates and my wonderful teacher Ms. Leslie Terrell. I go by the title of Adam Russell and the topic that I am going to be discussing today is the Seminole Nation. I chose this topic because my great great grandmother is a full blooded Seminole and knowing this I chose to discover more about one of my ancestors heritages. To tour my blog simply go to the World Wide Web and type in http://www.russellthevaulter.blogspot.com/ in the address bar to enter my blog.
Some of the highlights of this project is the amazement at how many websites there really were about the Seminole Nation. I was able to go to numerous sources to find the information that I needed to create my blogs. Another highlight was that there wasn't only one Seminole War, but three. Each a struggle to eliminate the stubborn Seminole from the land that they had claimed as their own. Going more onto the war topic I discovered that the Seminole were actually one of the first armies to use guerrilla tactics to fend off a large army; much like the early colonials when they were fighting the British for their freedom.
I was able to expand my knowledge for the subject of the Seminole and also quench my thirst for wanting to learn more about them for a long time, but being to lazy to have an actual reason. So I thank thee Ms. Terrell. My final opinion on my topic is that the Seminole Nation was defiantly a force to be reckoned with and the President Jackson finally had to resort to cowardly trickery to capture the key to the war, Chief Osceola. He captured him while they were having a peaceful talk under a WHITE FLAG.
I wish that i wouldn't have procrastinated as much as I did and that i could have delved into more depth on each blog but limited myself due to lack of time left to turn the assignment in.
