The Seminoles migrated to the Everglades as a refuge from conflicts and pressures from European settlers and the U.S. government, particularly during the 19th century. The dense, swampy environment provided a natural barrier against military forces and allowed them to maintain their way of life. Additionally, the Everglades offered resources such as fish, game, and plants for sustenance, making it a viable habitat for the Seminole people.
