Neamathla reemerged in a new town called Cohowofooche on the site of modern Tallahassee , Florida . " He begrudgingly allowed a new capital to be built there . " " In October 1823 , territorial commissioners John Lee Williams and William Simmons met with Neamathla to tell him of the new territory 's plan to locate its capital in Tallahassee . Neamathla objected but gave his grudging approval with the stipulation they not tell other Seminoles of his consent . A year later , Neamathla threatened to make the streets of Tallahassee “ run red with blood , ” unless the white settlers left . " DuVal , backed by a regiment of U.S. Army soldiers , met with Neamathla and his 600 warriors . DuVal illegally deposed Neamathla as head of the Seminoles , and ordered the Indians to a reservation near Tampa . " Neamathla , who even Andrew Jackson recommended be left alone , was offered a reservation in Gadsden County , Florida . Neamathla refused to live there , and relocated to what was left of the Creek nation . " He returned to Hitchiti , the town of his ancestors , and was an important chief there by the time of the 1833 Creek census . " After an unsuccessful revolt in 1836 , he was forced to walk , along with the other Creeks , the Trail of Tears to Oklahoma
