Trouble in the Wigwam and Florida Seminole War Talks
President Fillmore says U S efforts to drive Florida Indians have proved entirely ineffectual and Congress is asked to act. Negotiations began in 1832 with a Seminole treaty to leave in three years. They refused, wars followed, and actions to depose Billy Sowlegs failed. Last summer a migration pledge was made in Washington, but repudiated. New push to remove them triggers depredations as Florida Governor orders volunteers. Terminus unknown.
