A large group of Seminole raiders attacked a trading post and U.S. Army encampment along the Caloosahatchee River.

After reaching the fort, Chitto Tustenuggee then talked with U.S. Army General Alexander Macomb, and they eventually came to a peace agreement.

Another term of the peace agreement was that the U.S. Army would build a trading post on the Caloosahatchee River for the Seminoles to buy goods from.

[2] In order to calm the White Floridians, Secretary of War Joel Poinsett wrote a letter in which he stated that the Macomb Treaty was only supposed to be a temporary peace agreement, and that the U.S. Government would remove all the Seminoles later in the future.

The Seminoles quickly managed to kill most of the soldiers (including Sergeant Bigelow) and all of the civilian employees of the trading post.

[1] The Seminoles looted a large amount of silver coins, alcohol, gunpowder, and other goods from the trading post.

Harney would continue fighting in the war, and he later succeeded in finding and killing Chekaika, one of the Seminole leaders at Caloosahatchee.

Forrester and Perryman were initially loyal to the Seminole tribe at the start of the war, but they later defected to the United States in exchange for getting to live as Free Blacks.

[10] The Seminoles decided to spare Sampson Forrester, but they continued to hold him captive for two years until he escaped back to the U.S. Army in 1841.

After escaping from captivity, Sampson Forrester revealed that it was Chief Abiaka who ordered the Seminole attack at Caloosahatchee.
