RJA #3c: Research Question

There are a number of questions I have regarding the Gullah/Black Seminole uprisings that occured both pre and post- emancipation. My research now hovers over the nagging concern of a seeming deliberate suppression of this information:


What is or who are the Black Seminoles? What is their importance to American history? What was their significance or their role in the Civil War? What impact, if any did they have on the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all the African slaves in the southern or Confederacy (not the northern or Union States)? What would lead one to believe that traditional history seems to suppress information regarding Black uprisings against slavery?
