Battle of Jupiter Inlet
The Battle of Jupiter Inlet occurred on January 15, 1838 between the Seminole Indians / Seminole Negro and the United States Navy. This was the first of a series of battles led by the US Navy in the area, also referred to as the First Battle of Loxahatchee. The battle started when Ltn. Levin Powell led an expedition of 200 soldiers, sailors and marines, down the east coast of Florida. The Navy spotted a trail along side the Jupiter Inlet, and seventy-five men were landed to find the Seminole camp nearby. The camp was lead by Sam Jones, Ar-pi-uck-i, the spiritual medicine and war chief of the Miccosukee and Seminole people during the war. The officers that advanced on the camp were outnumbered and ambushed. After a long fight, the US retreated with five men killed in action and about twenty others wounded. Ltn. Levin Powell was one of those killed in battle.
==Background==
After the American Revolution, Spain regained control of Florida from Britain as part of the Treaty of Paris, and the Seminoles set up farms and acquired land grants from the Spanish. At the same time, because the state was in Spanish control, escaped slaves took advantage of the treaty and were found refugee in Florida. These two developments pushed the U.S. to begin the First Seminole War (1817–1818) on the Florida-Georgia line, which pushed the Seminoles further south.
In May 1832, the Treaty of Payne's Landing required Indians to forfeit their land and move west within a three-year window. In 1835, the U.S. Army returned to Florida to enforce the treaty and found the Indians prepared to fight.
