The White Flag and the Second Seminole War
The great Seminole Indian leader Osceola was captured by General Hernandez in 1837 under a white flag of truce just south of Moultrie Creek in St. Augustine Florida along side the Old Kings Road, a roadway built by the British prior to the American Revolution. His capture was long debated in the US Congress, the Court of England and in European capitals throughout the world. Osceola's capture while flying a white flag became a world affair when he later died in Army captivity. His famous portrait by artist Catlin was widely published.
