Answer:
The correct answer is C. Osceola organized an armed resistance to the forced removal of the Seminole from Florida.
Explanation:
Osceola was one of the most prominent leaders of the Seminoles. As a young man, he had been transferred from Georgia to Florida.
He opposed the treaty of Payne's Landing (1832) by which they were forced to sell the lands of Florida and move to Oklahoma. In 1835 he murdered Charley Emathla, a Seminole chief who had sold his land, and General Wiley Thompson, an agent of the United States government. He started the Seminole War in the Florida Everglades. When in October 1837 he went to San Agustin under a white flag, General Thomas Sidney Jessup arrested him and locked him in the prison in Charleston in which he died, perhaps killed although his death is attributed to malaria.
