Hundreds of Black Seminoles flee Florida for Cuba and the Bahamas in the early 1820's in order to escape forced military service during the Second Seminole War

Explanation:

Black Seminoles are the black slaves who ran away from Georgian and south Carolina and they reached in to the Florida wilderness. they were known to be Black Seminoles who were still to be found in Bahamas and Oklahoma. Seminoles were the native blacks tribe found in America and huge tensions began to raise between the Americans and the native black Seminoles which resulted in Seminole wars.

America decided to relocate the black Seminoles but they registered a staunch rejection. They also conspired more than three hundred slave owners to against america and it was considered to be the largest slave rebellion in the US history.
