Black Seminoles and the Largest Slave Revolt in U.S. History

- The story of John Horse and the Black Seminoles has been largely untold, but they deserve to be remembered for a number of reasons:
- They created the largest haven in the U.S. South for runaway slaves.
- They led the largest slave revolt in U.S. history.
- They secured the only emancipation of rebellious slaves prior to the U.S. Civil War.
- The formed the largest mass exodus of slaves across the United States and, ultimately, to Mexico.
Learn more about this remarkable story that has been overlooked by Hollywood, popular culture, and even historians. This group of freedom fighters-who ultimately found peace, liberty, and prosperity-is worth remembering.

I have found more black history on youtube than I have in all of my secondary and college years.
So thankful for social media/internet..... for as long as it lasts
They have been compressed sister!
This is mixed we are the Seminoles period. That's why they came
Same!!!!! And Much Truth: Black & Latinos descendants of the 12 tribes!!!!!!!!
@@jeangermain6317 compromised
She left out the fact that most of those runaway slaves were in fact “Seminole” or Yamasee people that were stolen and enslaved. The Seminole would raid plantations to recover their tribal members. Others were welcomed to join them or leave to the north. She also left out that one of the Seminole wars was started over the honor of a “black woman”, Chief Osceola’s wife that was stolen and sold into slavery. They sent out an army of warriors and declared war to get her back. Yes, one so-called black woman was so valuable that they started a war for her. These people were Seminoles, not “black Seminoles” or “red Seminoles”-they were Seminoles, period. It’s offensive to separate them from their tribal by adding “black” to it. They don’t add things to anyone else but us-as if we are different or less than. When these so-called black people were running this tribe.
Yamasee history will always be obscured by White America. The historicity of black existence in the Americas had to be hidden for colonial security.
so called blacks, latinos, and natives make up the 12 tribes of Israel, we're all family.
Reach out sis, QAM YASHARHALA!!!
Thank you for sharing all the additional insight and information. I learn so much every day...its a blessing.
R.S. Marcus very true
Luna Sea no problem. I have more information on black indians on my channel
She said she doesn’t understand how more attention hasn’t been given to the Black Seminole....... I think she knows exactly why
She says it at 7:40
White denial makes them feel good about them self’s
They want to show us as slaves who took mistreatment not warriors who fought for our freedom.. these new whypepo are no different from they're ancestors they don't like us like that and are very jealous folks
It's bull sht that's why. In The sixties I lived around native Americans in the south and in Colorado. All I was told by elder native Americans is that blacks were not respected as the native Americans would rather fight to the death or sit and starve to death before they would accept being a slave. A proud and noble people would hunt runaway slaves kill then cut off the ears for a reward for white slave hunters blacks were rarely aloud to be accepted and only blacks that had pride and fought for their freedom. Today black on black slaves rampid in Africa and after the Democrats killed Kadafe Libya is the slave trade market of the world. 3 to 5 thousand dollars for a slave to be shipped to your door
@@ellah2303actually it’s one of the first things out of her mouth, before you hit the 35 second mark 😳 Part of understanding the history is not being blind to why it’s hidden from us
They didn't rebel they was fighting for their land and they wasn't slaves DAMN!!
Black people in the Americas and the Caribbean come from black natives already there and transatlantic slavery.
We are a mix of both groups.

@Derrick Culler Thanks for expound your thoughts. We tend to speak as if everyone in on the same level of understanding which I'm guilty of....instead of sharing resources to find/confirm our own understandings. There are purposes for everything & nothing new under the sun(follow the money backwards) Lastly, it's less about deserving nobility, and more about deserving the REAL Ancestrial truth.

hollywood wont jump on this because it has black heroes.....
tereseus They will. It's only a matter of time. Part of the problem is the story is so big, spanning so many years and characters and places. It's hard to compress it enough for a Hollywood feature. The second problem is that the sources aren't always clear and often conflict. Any attempt to tell the story as a single narrative will lead to a Game of Thrones type of series, I think, but without the details Game of Thrones provides unless one fictionalizes. And this story is too important to play fast and loose with. If it's done right it should be told as truthfully as it can be. There's enough exciting stuff there to warrant a truthful retelling. Do you know the episode where John Horse stands down a whole war party of charging Indians and turns them with an empty rifle?
Stuart Mirsky yep I read about that. legendary leadership
@@StuartMirsky it should be a story like the Roots but put this on a streaming on Netflix
@@jamaalstrachan242 yes, I think streaming in a series is probably the best way to go. There's so much to tell, so much to show. John Horse is the centerpiece but there are others over the decades associated with the Seminole story.
Maybe multiple series here. Lots to work on. Where are the production companies, eh? My guess is they are waiting for the right package. I saw someone recently made a film about Bass Reeves, the long forgotten black U.S. marshal who became a lawman in Indian Territory (Oklahoma) after the Civil War. Why not John Horse, too?
Its not Hollywoods responsibility to "jump" on it. It's BLACK FOLKS responsibility to "jump" on it and tell their story, because IT'S OUR STORY to tell. Its totally crazy to expect others to "tell" YOUR story. We have the Talent, financing, and we have a handful of studios. No excuses.
Greeting to all who have watched. I am from Nacimento and born here in the US. I am also a Marine veteran. My grandfather was chief of Nacimento not very long after John Horse and Wild Cat reigned. I am visiting my people this summer, and I will let them all know that people are rediscovering us.

Or Chang history from the truth . Blacks live the lies they have been told. White pilgrim settlers came to the new world in the 1600s without slavers. Slavery was brought here in the 1500 s by brown and black people. White people came here for religious freedom. Spain and other brown people along with black slave traders brought slaved here. Slavery is alive and growing in America Again by democrats blacks brown and Chinese who have slaves in America today.

No mention of this in my high school history books. Actually they covered slavery very briefly and they gave all the credit for "freeing" slaves to Lincoln.
And give credit to the millions of WHITE SOLDIERS WHO FOUGHT FOR YOUR OPPRESSED BLACK ASS. MY GREAT, GREAT, GREAT , GRANDFATHER, AND 2 BROTHERS DIED FIGHTING FOR YOUR FREEDOM 157 YEARS AGO.

@@richbrown9839 ::
The only thing "running amuck" is your rantings about a false history AND mostly in "CAPS".
Your ancestors didn't fight the Civil-War to free anybody ... if you knew the history you're foaming about ... that War was fought to preserve The Union !
Secondly, your ancestors were not the only ones fighting in that War. The Black Soldiers were actually the ones fighting for their freedom AND long before your ancestors were in the War, there were a number Slave Rebellions ( it's a safe bet, your ancestors weren't participating in those struggles ).
If your ancestors were fighting for "Liberation", you seem bitter, instead of proud ; resentful, instead of contented your relatives were on the right side of History.
Your under-tone of vitriolic comments about present-day African-Americans would definitely place you in a gray uniform, if you had lived with your ancestors !
The Civil-War has resurfaced in Modern-Day. There's still a chance you can wear a gray uniform after taking off your white sheet !
@@cliffgaither funny you know my ancestors, and their reason for fighting. I will get rid of all their civil war lettets,weapons,letters,, uniform.

@@richbrown9839 YOU HAVE SPOKEN ONE TRUTH--MY ASS IS BLACK, NOW PICKLER UP!!
When you are a great people of the universe, other lies and wants to be you, it just goes to shows how great of a people we are.
I was born in Southwest Georgia. My family has a strong Creek and Cherokee Indian heritage. My grandmother would tell us how the Seminole tribes protected our ancestors during slavery times. Some of my ancestors ,cousins ended up down in the Everglades as the Micasookee tribe. I don't remember how, but the Micasookee and the Seminole tribes are intertwined somehow. Remember: This was passed on to me by my Grandparents, I can't verify it or not. But I do know that we have a strong resemblance to Native Americans, and I feel proud and humbled when I visit the Micasookee Reservation on the I-75 Alligator Alley.
Contrary to popular belief the 5 major civilized tribes owned Africa slaves. They also was used to capture runaways. The Creek & Seminole was an exception bit not entirely.
All we ever wanted was freedom !! why was that soo hard ??
kenny Boy Because the white settlers were rapacious and mired in a world view that didn't recognize other people as people like themselves. That changed but it took years and a great deal of pain. The Indians got driven out and the blacks, who fought to keep from falling into slavers' hands again, went with them, only to get screwed a second time in Indian Territory. But U.S. Army officers by then felt an obligation to them and worked to protect them from the predations of Arkansas, Cherokee and Creek slavers. The Creek were the source of the Seminole bands but, unlike the Seminole who lived a more wild life in Florida, the Creek were more acculturated to white ways and adopted the practices and institutions of the whites, including plantation slavery. Thus, in Indian Territory, the old Seminole-African alliance was faced with new challenges which ripped their one time alliance apart.

I introduced it to my children in 2000 and beyond. The oral family and overall history pointed them to books they will not hear about in public schools. Beautiful documentary, peace.

I am a proud black Seminole man and every day I’m learning more about my history through the internet
Be warry of the "Black" label assigned by the enemy of our people who came from Europe who murdered our people and stole our lands! If you are truly of our native people you must lead and not follow the "Lost" souls who foolishly adopted the black label from their evil masters! There is no land called "Black"...There is no land called "white" These are creations of the true black people who originated from Europe!
Actually Seminole was never a tribe it meant runaways because the enslaved ppls and native tribes fleeing rival tribes as well as whites. It was called the GULLah wars they changed it so whites wouldn't look stupid. This lasted 100 years.
I am a Black Seminole and I recently discovered there are Hispanics in my family. The Seminoles in my family are from Florida. I wondered how the Hispanics got in. Also interesting that I have a B.A. in Spanish. This is a great story. It ties my family history together. I am going to read more on this.
Some fleed to Mexico others Cuba
Hispanics a Euro-Creation! Natives of These Lands Now Called The Americas Had Their Culture and Language Erased By Europeans Through Rape and Genocide! Spanish and The Evil of Catholicism Was Forced Upon The Remaining Natives Who Were Not Victims of European Genocide! The Erasure of Non-Europeans Continue In The Americas!
I know I'm years late, and there's a complex web of layers regarding the Spanish to peel here, but most likely they were either:
1) black or indigenous folk who lived in what was then Spanish or Latin American territory and took Spanish names
2) mixed with Spanish, Latin American or the above people
The Spanish were and are a walking contradiction of colonizers, something observers and historians have a hard time comprehending in trying to grasp the nuances of the cultures they created. Blackness and Africanness are an integral but hidden part of that identity, and a lot of people on both sides of the equation have a lot more connection with each other than they realize or want to admit
@@kongming66he only ppl who have a problem with the idea are so-called Hispanics. Technically, both Hispanic and Latin are dubious terms to describe people. Hispanic actually applies only to the people of Hispaniola.
There is no mystery about the Spaniards’ race problem. The Western concept of race comes from the Spaniards, who created the Casta system. Post “Dark Ages,” after 700 years of Moorish rule, Spain was a nation of mulattoes with some remaining groups of Caucasians who did not integrate with Moors, mostly religious groups-like Ladinos (Iberian Jews)-and previous monarchs, the ones who colluded to oust the Moors. In order to diminish Moors’ previous ruler status, they publicly denounced “morros” (Moors/Mauros) and exalted the Ladinos and monarchs. Throughout Latin America, you will find the Ladino silent hand, ruling nations’ economies and policies. A mestizo face is put forward to create an image of desirable and proximal “whiteness.” The Indios were only exalted if they intermixed with Spaniards or mulatto Spaniards. The Indios who remained with their own people were placed at the very bottom of the caste, below Africans; Latin America still maintains this caste, which is problematic for white Westerners, whose own caste systems placed Asiatic “Native Americans” above Black Indigenous and African people. (The very abridged version.)
Hispanics? 🧐
This is information that should be in every school across the country. I am 30 years old and barely figuring this information out. This needs to be taught to our children of color so they know that slavery did not go on without a fight. When I was in school I always asked myself why didn't anyone ever fight back? It is important to know that yes, we did fight back.

No it should not as this video is telling half truths. What she failed to mention was that the Seminole Indians were our people and she uses the discrimination of Black to separate us for the thousands of or so called Black Indian tribes that existed.

So glad you mentioned that my mom's family is of Geechee, Creek & Irish Seminoles. When I told people the culture and story they were always perplexed about this part of US history.

What I don't like is they forget about the story of them stealing diamonds from us 🤔 My ancestors traded diamonds with the Seminoles way before Europeans came here and enslaved. From Sierra Leone to Charleston, Hilton Head etc. all the way down to the Everglades. So when you speak on *John Horse* dont forget to tell that he's Gullah and the blood diamonds they stole from us right here in America. Also how we made it all the way to Mexico. Unconquered.

Black Seminole is redundant. Seminole means Maroon or Run away. Much like General Jessup said the Seminole war was a "Negro war."
Maroon come from the West indies Jamaica to be exact geechee come from John horse who was Bahamian.
John Horse was not Bahamian and he was not an Indian . He was the mixed child of a Spaniard mixed Indian father and his African descendants slave Charles Caballo was his father, John Caballo is his name. Caballo is translated to Horse. He was living in a maroon community on Seminole territory. He made deals with the Seminole to keep his family from continuing to be slaves to Seminole.
Redundant means when you repeat...run away is not black so therefore it's not redundant
Rastafari Mulah First, get your facts straight before commenting. Secondly, Maroons have never been exclusive to Jamaican Maroon, perhaps the most known maroons but not the only ones. Maroon literally means African/Black people who created settlements away from Chattel Slavery; Maroons existed throughout the Americas. Secondly, John Horse wasn’t Bahamian because he was an African American (mixed), however, I do understand where the confusion comes from- Black Seminoles migrated to the Bahamas at one point, as they migrated to other parts of the America/Western world, as well. Like Mexico, Cuba, Oklahoma, etc.

She left out the part regarding "The Gullah War" which occurred from 1729 to 1863, and, truth be told, was one of the main reasons Lincoln signed The 13th Amendment, The Seminoles played a role in that war as well.
It was the main reason! Lincoln didn’t want European immigrants in fear of migrating over here due to the so called black natives putting in work on whole families. Men women and children were getting cut short. So Lincoln HAD to abolish slavery. You probably know all this tho I’m just ranting 😂 🙏🏿✊🏿

They were first to use sawed off shotguns filled with nails and metal pieces to defend themselves. ‘The State of Jones’ is a unique history book published in 2009.
Yes, they were probably more willing to tell THAT story because it had a White hero. Remember, they were CONFEDERATE soldiers & their main objective was not the end of enslavement for their fellow man. Though it became a byproduct of their cause.
Wow, my wife's people (on her father's side) is a decedent of the Black Seminoles. After the Civil war some of them moved back into Texas and settled in a town called Brackettville. My wife's grandparents (and some of their sister's & brothers) eventually relocated to the Silicon Valley/Bay area of California.
Thank you for that bit of uplifting historical conversation.
Bless you dear one.
Interesting history. I personally don't enjoy your pauses but it's a good story.
"The Truth will set you Free" Free from the lies that were told.
micahyah: Have you noticed lately that everything is revealing and we are becoming more AWOKE and feeling stronger. More to come in 2020. Stay woke and get your passport.
@@blackintellect777 I have noticed My friend. No Fear.
This is not only a compelling story, but a beautifully produced video.
This is not only a compelling story, but a beautifully produced video.. John horse is now added to my list of heroes.
Glad you liked our video!
I have been left on the outside of this knowledge and purposely forgotten about as if I would not be concerned about my own history. (DEEP BREATHES DEEP BREATHES). Thank you for reaching out to me :) It had to be more of a reason that FSU the Florida State Seminoles have been forever my favorite college team. THANK YOU THANK YOU
Thank you John Horse!
John Horse and Harriet Tubman are my favorite historical figures. True super heroes.
Thank you for your diligence to these stories.
This information is also addressed in the 1619 project, chapter 5. It is so nice to see the truth finally being told.
John Horse a true freedom fighter! Respect to those that paved the way and haven't been recognized. SALUTE!
Also I must add that the “Black Seminoles/Afro Seminoles” are of the Gullah Geechee. The Gullah Geechee’s are the sea island Creoles along the coastal islands and mainlands of Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida.
I like "Afro Seminoles" John Horse Was One Of Them Too???
Kwanz X yes sir. Many Afro Americans are descendants of the Gullah Geechee but don’t know because of the great migration.
He Go africans aint got nun to do with this lmao
@Adolph Bidenkopt DNA test are fake
@Derrick Culler The Great Migration is when Blacks moved from the south to the north in pursuit of better work and escape the racist south after slavery. We know that all Black are Descendants of Africans; and the Gullahs are definitely descendants of many West African cultures and peoples. I know this because I am Gullah Geechee. Our culture is majority African & Native American. We are a Creolized people and culture with heavy ties to the Caribbean as well.
Its always amazing to me that there were so few slave revolts when there were 4 mil. slaves. Especially during the Civil War when most men were off to war. Especially in light of the know safe harbors and the huge wildernesses one could seek refuge in. Slaves in Hispanolia and many similar places were stuck on islands or near harsh deserts of the Saharah etc.
Thanks Single Shot! Go Noles. I see you on Warchant all the time. Good Stuff.
I got 2 words for the creator's of this ... much needed eye opener. ..
THANK YOU...
Oops! forgot, for those of you are indeed interested in staying in the know, you might like to look into Yamassee, Jamassi Nation.
Ty..I needed to know the rest of the story.
I find history class in highschool so boring. This kind of history I find in youtube is so fascinating though.
1:39 correction: Muskogee creek natives
1:53 correction: Gullah Geechee runaway prisoners of war= Seminoles(wild runaways)
What would you expect...
I am such a history fan, and yet I don't believe I've heard of this. If I had, it wasn't discussed enough for it to stick. Thank you for keeping us educated!
Proud of the ancestors for standing their ground and fighting. They could've marched around holding up signs in protest, song songs while chanting, attended long drawn out speeches heard time and time again or even killed each other cause they lived in neighborhoods with people having the same skin color but they didn't. They stood together in solidarity and fought for what was rightfully theirs.
I'm happy to see this. ...and, I plan to check out the website.
Wow that is amazing. I never heard of this story until now. This story really should be told. We just had 12 years a slave (even though it was an independent film). I hope that this story will be told on the big screen. Since I am black, I can only speculate that it may be hard for other Americans to have movies about a national disgrace. (Much like I have heard that Germans have a hard time watching Captain America movies because they don't like to see a bad moment in their history be retold.) Well hopefully we can move forward together and make a nation worth of its founding statement "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights". I still think that one sentence gives America some sense of direction although it surely has fallen short of its goal.
No your not White nor are you black ,
I can tell through your speech in your comment , Truefully your ancestors have done enough , you need to fall back , and let the the true Hebrew Israelites have the floor , Because in the time coming to pass ! as it was done by your forefathers , so shall it be done unto your ancestors today ,

Such a wonderful documentary! I loved this, very important to learn. :)
Although of mixed heritage, John Horse, was considered a slave by both the American and Seminole law. He was set free by the American military for service to the army and then later was set free by Semimole chief Micanopy. Thus shows the complex nature of the history of the black runaway slaves in relation to the native Americans and US government.
I’m an American and I would want this story told about American Indians, Blacks and Whites. We already know about Spain’s Florida, Joe Turner’s Slave Revolt, “The Trail of Tears” - give us the whole story.
Wait a minute I thought Henry Louis Gates proved through DNA that we are not Part Native American? LOL I knew that story had a taint, My family on my fathers side are no doubt African Seminole I do not even need a DNA test to prove it.
Damiin Ñande Jallo exactly!
@ Damiin Ńande Jallo - it was cleared up but so many of our people still refuse to accept it bcuz they in fact have some native ancestry in them I mean it's rare when it's more then 50 to 75% but it is there & @ times it's even well over 20% however so are a few other races putting the true meaning to mixed race slave descendant
@@theresearchguystl actually if he said that he's lying 🤥 people have taken multiple test from multiple different companies & only by a few percentage points off are the comparisons that are found however those comparisons are IDENTICAL people just don't really wanna hear that they have high percentages of African in them or white but they jumping for joy over the slightest bit of Native ancestry & this is even if it's only a fraction of 1% they don't want to be identifying w/ Africans is all I'm steady seeing meanwhile Africans are even taking these test seriously & not bcuz their first class idiots but bcuz they ain't even stupid enough to believe that all these AA were bred off whites & highly shapely Native Americans with no percentage in most of them are usually higher then the African percentages coming from the mother or father's side
@@theresearchguystl Ya'll stop this back and forth about we're not African we're Native Indians HOW ABOUT WE ARE INDIGENOUS TO THIS PLANET! WHAT EVER REGION OF THIS PLANET WE TRAVELED TO AND FRO FROM. WE ARE THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE WEATHER AFRICAN, INDIAN, MAROON, JAMAICAN, HAITIAN ETC...OUR PLANET ONE PEOPLE!!!
Henry Louis gates can only speak of the people he knows, my mother is 68 percent native born and reared among her people He also forgot about Bessie Coleman she was native and African American also.
It’s crazy how I’m over thirty and just learning about this when we were taught about Andrew Jackson it was all heroism lol
The land of the free and the home of the brave (for some). Thank you so much for this story. We can understand the truth better than the lies we’ve been told. It just makes sense when you look at the struggle Native and African Americans have endured. Systemic racism has resulted in the poverty that still plagues our communities. Thanks again
This story was very well told. Thank you.
That is the story of my family..My grandmother talked about John Horse and another relative named Adam.
+noddybadfaith How did Prof. Sturgis do in presenting your family's story?
+Learn Liberty
You did well,clarified quite a few things. I must say it was really odd to hear someone talking about family in relation to American history.
same here
+ObamaLoaf record your family history from those who were there,
Beautiful. My family are OK Seminole.
Thank you for bringing this story to light.
Thank you sister for posting that important post of forgotten native black history. This fact was actually covered by our elder historian Dr. Claude Anderson who is in my humble opinion a genius and an expert in historical data. I am grateful for your desire and need to tell an important time of American history.
I have just learned that I have Two different tribe's in my family Cherokee and crow
Thank You for this video. From all sides of my heritage it is good to here someone telling the real story.
It's called His-Story for a reason... Time to tell Our-Facts because we all know stories is another word for lies
History from the Greek historia meaning finding out the truth or finding out the narrative so your assertion her is false. you could talk about the use of history to push false or otherwise mythologised naratices such as the myth of the american west but that is a different discussion
@wearealltubes if you say so
Wow ! This part of American History was never taught to me in the public school system in my state here in Nebraska 😒. I am glad I seen this video 😉.
Thank you so much for sharing this story. As a historian, I was aware of the Seminole Wars, but not aware of the role of escaped slaves. A good historian is always excited to learn new things. Again, thanks.
There were no “escaped slaves,” just Seminoles of varying colors.
