<span>The term "Seminole" is a derivative of "cimarron" which means "wild men" in
Spanish. The original Seminoles were given this name because they were
Indians who had escaped from slavery in the British-controlled northern
colonies. When they came to Florida, they were not called Seminoles as
they were actually Creeks, Indians of Muskogee derivation. The Muskogean
tribes comprised the Mississipian culture which were temple-mound
builders. Among the Muskogean tribes were the Creeks, Hitichis and
Yamasees of Georgia, the Apalachees of Florida, the Alabamas and Mobiles
of Alabama, and the Choctaws, Chickasaws and Houmas of Mississippi.
<span> The Origins of the Seminoles
The original Seminoles came to Florida because it was controlled by the
Spanish, who had no interest in returning slaves to the British. They
were mostly Lower Creeks who spoke the Mikasuki language, but other
Indians, including Yuchis, Yamasees and Choctaws who had confronted
Ponce de Leon and DeSoto, also joined the tribe in their trek to
northern Florida from Georgia during the early 1700s.
</span> By this time, many of the tribes in Florida, including the Tequestas,
Calusas, Apalachees, Timucans and others, had been decimated by the
Spanish presence, either in battles or by diseases such as smallpox. Out
of an estimated 100,000 native Americans that occupied Florida during
the 1500s, less than 50 survived.
In 1767, Upper Creeks from Alabama, who spoke the Muskogee language,
settled in the Tampa area. Shortly after this, in 1771, the first
recorded usage of the name "Seminole" to denote an actual tribe was
recorded. In 1778, the Seminoles were joined by more Lower Creeks and a
few Apalachees.
<span> The Five Civilized Tribes
Together with the Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks and Cherokees, the
Seminoles were called "The Five Civilized Tribes." The name was coined
because these tribes in particular adopted many ways of the white
civilization. They lived in cabins or houses, wore clothes similar to
the white man and often became Christians.

<span>It was the Bay of Pigs Fiasco. It was an invasion of Cuban exiles whose goal
is to overthrow the government of Fidel Castro.
It was launched in Guatemala by CIA-trained counter-revolutionary forces
known as Brigade 2506. Though they were
supported by American bombers who bombarded the Cuban airfields and managed to
overwhelm a small militia, they were crushed by a Cuban counter-offensive by
Jose Ramon Fernandez. Later, Castro himself led the attack and the invaders
surrendered and were imprisoned on April 20, 1961.</span>
Answer:
The American Revolution was principally caused by colonial opposition to British attempts to impose greater control over the colonies and to make them repay the crown for its defense of them during the French and Indian War (1754–63)
Explanation:
<u>Answer:</u>
Mechanized agriculture is the form of agriculture which makes use of machines to produce the output which has resulted in the increase of the productivity of the farm.
But it has certain disadvantages also like it replaces work of labor and degrades the environment by causing pollution of the land, and also leads to soil erosion which causes reduction in nutrients of soil and uprooting of trees is also done to bring more land under the farming to increase the output.
