Guy was part of the largest Slave Revolt in the history of the US. Seminoles (I am a Florida State fan for life now) :obama:

Was the only Blacks to fight off 10 Generals for DECADES. The US government could NOT defeat them.

I also feel they secured the freedom of all of us by earning their freedom via the 1st Emancipation declared by General Jesup. This put a crack in the foundations of slavery & later lead to Lincoln's Emancipation later.

I am John Horse, I am a Maroon, we are The Seed of the Free

I haven't been able to study the origins of the Buffalo Soldiers yet, but something tells me, they came from the Black Seminole Indians from Florida

I found out about him a few months ago. Great man. I wish someone would make a movie about him. Too bad it'll never get financed.

Props. His story is amazing. It's a shame that I'd never heard of him before. I wonder how many other heroic people there were that we havent heard of.
