The correct answer to this open question is the following.
the location of where the Seminole lived in Florida change after 1822 because they were forced to relocate to another territory in the region of Central Florida. This was a result of the First Seminole War, a conflictive period in Florida where the Unites States army captured the "Spanish Florida" and fought the Native American Indians called the Seminoles and some black people that allied them. After the US defeated the Spaniards, they signed the Adams-Onis Treaty, and Florida became an official territory of the United States.
After 1842, things changed and the remaining Seminoles moved again, some to the West, others to the Everglades. They tried to fight a couple of battles but with no major success at all.
