Seminole Nation : A long march toward Freedomوحدت سیاهپوستان و سرخ پوستان آمریکائی

Zinn Education Project 
 
On Christmas day 1837, 178 years ago, the Africans and Native
 Americans who formed Florida’s Seminole Nation defeated a vastly superior U.S. invading army bent on cracking this early rainbow coalition and returning the Africans to slavery. The Seminole victory stands as a milestone in the march of American liberty.
 
Though it reads like a Hollywood thriller, this amazing story has yet to capture public attention. It is absent from most school textbooks and social studies courses, Hollywood movies, and TV.
