The Scott Massacre was the first U.S. defeat of the Seminole Wars. A force of several hundred Creek, Seminole and Black Seminole warriors attacked a U.S. Army boat commanded by Lt. Richard W. Scott. The battle ended with the deaths of Scott, 34 U.S. soldiers, 6 women and 4 children and led President James Monroe to order Maj. Gen. Andrew Jackson to invade Florida.
