Seminole in the American Civil War

The Seminole in the American Civil War were found in both the Trans-Mississippi and Western Theaters. The Seminole Nation in the Trans-Mississippi Theater had split alliances. However, the majority of the tribe in the Western territories joined the Union Army under the leadership of Billy Bowlegs.[a][2] Others, such as John Jumper, supported the Confederacy. The Florida Seminole participated in some skirmishing in central Florida.[3] They were likely at the Battle of Olustee in February 1864.[citation needed]
