These 3 original newspapers contain long detailed coverage of the FIRST SEMINOLE INDIAN WAR in FLORIDA and the CAPTURE of Pensacola, FL by General Andrew Jackson in this early Indian War. The 1818 Battle of Pensacola, considered part of the First Seminole War, took place in May 1818 when American forces led by Andrew Jackson captured Pensacola, then the capital of Spanish West Florida, which Jackson felt was being used by the Seminole for strikes against America. After the surrender by Spanish Governor Jose Masot, Jackson established a temporary American provisional government in the city.The Seminole Wars (also known as the Florida Wars) were a series of three military conflicts between the United States and the Seminoles that took place in Florida between about 1816 and 1858. The Seminoles are a Native American nation which coalesced in northern Florida during the early 1700s, when the territory was still a Spanish colonial possession. Tensions grew between the Seminoles and settlers in the newly independent United States in the early 1800s, mainly because enslaved people regularly fled from Georgia into Spanish Florida, prompting slaveowners to conduct slave raids across the border. A series of cross-border skirmishes escalated into the First Seminole War in 1817, when General Andrew Jackson led an incursion into the territory over Spanish objections. Jackson's forces destroyed several Seminole and Black Seminole towns and briefly occupied Pensacola before withdrawing in 1818. The U.S. and Spain soon negotiated the transfer of the territory with the Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819.The increasing border tensions came to a head on December 26, 1817 as the U.S. War Department wrote an order directing General Andrew Jackson to take command in person and bring the Seminoles under control, precipitating the First Seminole War. Jackson's forces destroyed Negro Fort along with several Seminole settlements and pursued Seminoles and Black Seminoles across northern Florida. The Spanish government expressed outrage over Jackson's "punitive expeditions" into their territory and his brief occupation of Pensacola. But as was made clear by several local uprisings and other forms of "border anarchy", Spain was no longer able to defend nor control Florida and eventually agreed to cede it to the United States per the Adams–Onís Treaty of 1819, with the transfer taking place in 1821. According to the terms of the Treaty of Moultrie Creek (1823) between the United States and Seminole Nation, the Seminoles were removed from Northern Florida to a reservation in the center of the Florida peninsula, and the United States constructed a series of forts and trading posts along the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts to enforce the treaty.
