Jackson years

After  the Battle o New Orleans,   Jackson was to protect the settlers of the western areas by keeping track of the Native Americans.

  In  1818, he was given 2000 men and he was trying to catch the Seminoles of Florida. Florida at that time was under the Spanish flag, and one of the provisions of the Pinckney Treat was that each country would control the Indians in their territories. Jackson crossed the borer and not only chased the Seminoles and captured a great number of them he captured the forts of the Spanish government. Some looked at Jackson as an embarrassment to the U. S.  But the U.S. and Spain agreed to the ADAMS-ONIS TREATY Spain gave up land to the northwest and Florida. U.s. also gave up lands of southwest area of the U.S.

Slaves in the newly opened western areas slowly grew but in the Northwest Territory slaves were prohibited.  But freed slaves were not welcome either, freed slaves had to have a $1000 security bond unless they owned land.
