Florida
In the record
Royce’s schedule records 6 cessions that lie at least partly in Florida, from 1823 to 1833, under 4 treaties, agreements and acts. The peoples named most often are Florida Tribes (Moultrie Creek) and Seminole.
The atlas records 2 broken treaty promises here, including Seminole removal: Payne's Landing (1832), Fort Gibson (1833) and the Second Seminole War and Chiricahua Apache: the 1872 reservation abolished (1876) and 27 years as prisoners of war (1886-1912/14). Land has come back here: Miccosukee Tribe land expansion bill (vetoed).
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources.
Everything here is linked at state level only. The atlas does not look up addresses or parcels, and a cession touching a state does not tell you whose land a particular place is.
