Editing Indian removal (section)

===Seminole===
The [[Seminole]] refused to leave their [[Florida]] lands in 1835, leading to the [[Second Seminole War]]. Osceola was a Seminole leader of the people's fight against removal. Based in the [[Everglades]], Osceola and his band used surprise attacks to defeat the US Army in a number of battles. In 1837, Osceola was duplicitously captured by order of US General [[Thomas Jesup]] when Osceola came under a flag of truce to negotiate peace near [[Fort Peyton]].<ref name="Wickman2006" /> Osceola died in prison of illness; the war resulted in over 1,500 US deaths, and cost the government $20 million.<ref name="TuckerArnold2011" /> Some Seminole traveled deeper into the Everglades, and others moved west. The removal continued, and a number of wars broke out over land.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}In 1823, the Seminole signed the [[Treaty of Moultrie Creek]], which reduced their 34 million to 4 millions acres.
