However, the dynamic between Indigenous and Black Seminoles changed when the Seminole were eventually pushed into Creek territory. The Creek allowed slavery. The Black Seminole weren’t safe from capture into slavery, and found their community subject to raids. Some of them escaped to Coahuila, Mexico, across the border from Texas, where slavery had been abolished. There they were known as Mascogos. Some escaped to the Bahamas, where slavery had been abolished. Others made their way into Florida’s wetlands.
