II. When did the seizure of a Negro woman as a slave in the United States lead to a war of two years in the United States in which 20,026 U.S. Army troops were engaged and during which a troop of 110 white soldiers, was led by a trusted Negro into a trap where all but four were massacred?
II.(Answer)in 1836, the Negro wife of Osceola, a Seminole chief of Indian-Negro descent was seized as a slave. Osceola , in revenge, ambushes, killed and scalped U.S. General Thomson, and thee other white men. Thus began the Second Seminole War. Osceola, says J R. Giddings, "visited Fort King in company with his wife and a few friends for the purpose of rading. Mr. Thompson, the Agent was present and while engaged in business the wife of Osceola was seized as a slave. Evidently having Negro blood in her veins the law pronounced her a slave and as no other person could show title to her the pirate who had got possession of her body was suuposed, of course to be her owner...Osceola became frantic with rage...From that moment when this outrage was committed the Florida War may be regarded as commenced." The Trusted Negro guide who deliberately led Col. Dade into the trap where he and all his men, save four, were massacred is Louis Pecheco. (The Exiles of Florida, p. 98, 101, 106, 114). For fuller details of the campaign, the number of men engaged and the killed, see, J,T. Sprague:The Florida War, New York, 1848
