The Seminole are a Native American people who developed in Florida in the 18th century. They emerged in a process of ethnogenesis ( becoming ethnically distinct) from various Native American groups who settled in Spanish Florida beginning in the early 1700, most significantly northern Muscogee Creeks, from what is now Georgia and Alabama. The word “Seminole” means “runaway” or “wild one.” After raids by Anglo-American colonists on Seminole settlements in the mid-18th century, the Seminole retaliated by raiding the Southern Colonies (primarily Georgia), at the behest of the Spanish. The Seminole also maintained a tradition of accepting escaped slaves from Southern plantations, infuriating planters in the American South.
