Yes, option C is correct. After the First Seminole War, the Seminole tribe was forced to leave its lands and be removed to the West. To arrive at this answer, you would need to have some background knowledge about the consequences of the First Seminole War. This war took place from 1817 to 1818, and it was fought between the United States and a group of Native American tribes, including the Seminole tribe.
During the war, the Seminole tribe resisted US attempts to gain control over their territory in Florida. Although the tribe initially managed to maintain their sovereignty, they ended up being overwhelmed by the superior military strength of the United States. As a result, the US government forced the Seminole tribe to leave their lands and be relocated to the West, specifically to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) under the Indian Removal Act of 1830.
This relocation policy was part of a larger strategy by the US government to open up Native American lands for white settlement and expand its control over the continent. The forced removal of the Seminole tribe from their ancestral lands was a painful and disruptive process, and it ultimately contributed to the displacement and suffering of many Native American tribes during the 19th century.
