The Invisible RebellionSlavery has been implemented and imposed on many African Americans since the beginning of America's birth. However, as America moves toward a more liberal and less conservative mindset, public institutions are implementing courses that shed light on this particular topic. Names such as Nat Turner, Denmark Vessey, and Gabriel ring in the ears of history as the leaders of the many insurrections that impacted America's view of slavery. The Haitian Revolution has also been highlighted as a rebellion that encouraged insurrection in many other places, including those that took place in America. Although scholars and historians study these individuals and events in detail, they have also overlooked an important event that had a great impact on the slave rebellion as much, if not more, than the Haitian Revolution. Almost all history books contain no content or details about the Black Seminole Rebellion until recently, where few scholars have done in-depth research to shed light on the significance of this rebellion.

Although all three of these proposals were proposed by a state power, the Seminole Nation offered no such refuge or promise to the slaves who participated in the rebellion. Another distinction that could be made was that the other three wars had made slave participation a planned strategic bid while slaves had not participated in a tactical bid but simply out of the pure motivation of being free. To put it simply, slaves participated because they saw an opportunity for freedom and joined in the same ideals as the black Seminoles..
