Swampy’s #Florida says Happy President’s Day!
Today Swampy recognizes two who earned their stripes to become President due to the efforts they made in Florida, Andrew Jackson and Zachary Taylor. Both leaders in the Seminole Wars of the early 1800s.
Jackson was essentially the person who started the wars in 1819. Taylor was ordered to persue the Seminoles closer to the end of the war and found him and his men swamped in the swamps of south Florida. Which led to, essentially the defeat of the Americans. The Seminoles never surrendered and are considered to be the victors of the 3 Seminole Indian Wars.
