The Seminole War. Violation of the Treaty of Moultrie Creek by early settlers in Florida and the subsequent signing of The Indian Removal Act under President Andrew Jackson in 1830. This resulted in the trading of the Siminole land in Florida for land West of the Mississippi creating more friction between the Siminoles and the Creek Indians who were already occupants of the land.
