This article has been split off from Seminole Wars because of size considerations. It needs cleaning up, and more can be added to it about the campaigns. Splitting of some the campaigns off to their own articles may be necessary. -- Donald Albury 13:57, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Worrisome slaves

Wikipedia contains numerous articles in which people claim that Caucasians were "worried" about a slave revolt. Why is that untrue and deceitful statement being employed in Wikipedia? GhostofSuperslum 13:30, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Because it is verifiable from many reliable sources. -- Donald Albury 14:00, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

George Washington owned more than one hundred slaves. He was not "worried" about a slave revolt. He believed the opposite. He was "worried" that slavery would end and that he would have a large plantation with no workers on it to help him grow crops. Thousands of slaveowners were "worried" that slavery would end. Slavery was the best thing that had ever happened to them. They weren't "worried" about a slave revolt. They were buying slaves by the dozens. GhostofSuperslum 04:43, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dade Massacre

Someone renamed the article Dade Massacre to Dade Battle. Maybe it should get moved back. -- SEWilco (talk) 04:52, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I just did, and stated my reason on that talk page. It's the term John Mahon uses in History of the Second Seminole War. -- Donald Albury 11:06, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
