Might there have been tensions between the Cherokees and Seminoles?

Yes, there were tensions between the Cherokees and Seminoles, primarily due to competition for resources and differing responses to European encroachment. The two tribes had distinct cultural identities and political structures, which sometimes led to conflicts over territory and alliances. Additionally, both tribes faced pressures from U.S. government policies, leading to increased competition for survival and autonomy in a rapidly changing environment.
