American troops under the command of Georgian Lt. Colonel Duncan L. Clinch destroy "The Negro Fort" on the Appalachicola River. Clinch, who commanded a combined force of U. S. soldiers, Georgia militia and Creek Indians fired on the fort with "hot shot," striking the magazine and killing 270 of the runaway slaves who occupied the fort. This incident is frequently cited as precipitating the First Seminole War. In 1818 General Jackson ordered Lt. James Gadsden to build a fort on the site of the "Negro Fort". Today the site is a Florida State Park known by that name.
