Dr. Andrew Frank discusses the myths and fabrications about influential leader of the Seminole people in Florida, Chief Osceola. Part of the Florida Humanities Florida Talks Series.
Anti-war and abolitionist activists helped promote an enduring series of myths and fabrications about Chief Osceola, who played a pivotal role in the Second Seminole War and died in U.S. military captivity in 1838. Osceola was a focus of debates over Indian wars, Indian removal, and their connections to American slavery.
