Yamasee War Summary and Definition
Yamasee War Summary and Definition: The Yamasee War (1715–16) was a conflict fought in South Carolina between the Carolina and Virginia militia of British-American Colonists and their Native Indian allies against the Yamasee Native American Tribe supported by the Ochese, Waxhaw and Santee tribes.
The causes of Yamasse War were the encroachment of white settlers and colonists on Indian territories and disputes over the highly lucrative fur trade. Trading posts and plantations were raided and 7% of South Carolina's white population were killed. A collaboration of troops and war supplies from neighbouring colonies resulted in the defeat of the Yamasee Indians. Many defeated Indians escaped to Florida, where they joined runaway black slaves and other Native American Indians to form what became known as the Seminole tribe."

No Surrender!
By May 10, 1842, when a frustrated President John Tyler ordered the end of military actions against the Seminoles, over $20 million had been spent, 1500 American soldiers had died and still no formal peace treaty had been signed. At that time, it marked the most costly military campaign in the young country's history. And it wasn't over yet. Thirteen years later, a U.S. Army survey party - seeking the whereabouts of Abiaka and other Seminole groups - was attacked by Seminole warriors under the command of the colorful Billy Bowlegs. The nation invested its entire reserve into the apprehension of the ambushers.
