Not civilized enough for some‚ apparently‚ for when the United States acquired Florida in 1821‚ it began herding the Seminoles‚ through a succession of treaties‚ to progressively smaller and less desirable parts of the state. Ultimately‚ in 1834 federal officials set Jan. 1‚ 1836‚ as a deadline for <;a href=";https://www.historynet.com/on-removing-seminoles/";>;removal of the Seminoles<;/a>; from Florida to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). When a 110-man detachment of the 4th U.S.<;sup>;<;/sup>;Infantry under Brevet Maj. Francis L. Dade set out for Fort King to oversee that final removal‚ however‚ it was ambushed by 180 Seminoles led by Halpatter Tustenuggee (Alligator) on Dec. 28‚ 1835.

<;p>;<;span>;Kensington Palace is not just a grand residence for the British monarchy‚ but also a place where countless servants worked tirelessly to ensure the smooth running of the court. These servants played a crucial role in various aspects of royal life‚ from preparing extravagant meals to facilitating diplomatic visits and even caring for royal babies.<;/span>;<;/p>;<;p>;<;span>;In the grandeur of Kensington Palace‚ the royal plates were adorned with delicacies that were considered worthy of a king. From potted turtles to puffins‚ the court enjoyed an array of exotic dishes imported from around the world. China plates‚ which were considered special‚ were used to serve certain dishes‚ adding an elegant touch to the table. These plates‚ along with the meticulous arrangement of the dishes‚ provided a glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of royal dining.<;/span>;<;/p>;<;p>;<;/p>;<;h2>;<;b>;The Importance of<;/b>; <;b>;Notebooks<;/b>;<;/h2>;<;p>;<;span>;One of the most valuable sources of information about daily life at Kensington Palace is a notebook kept by James Daniel‚ the head cook.

At the top of the staircase‚ they would enter an intimidating room dominated by a royal canopy and the throne. This room served as a reminder that the servants were not just responsible for the practical aspects of running the palace‚ but also for creating formal situations where the king could receive his subjects and listen to their requests and petitions.<;br>;<;/span>;<;span>;<;br>;<;/span>;<;span>;During the Georgian era‚ the power of the monarch had been curtailed by parliament. However‚ the opportunity to vie for the kings attention at court was still highly prized‚ both at home and abroad. Dan Snow comments<;/span>;<;/p>;<;blockquote>;<;p>;<;span>;Servants worked relentlessly behind the scenes‚ to facilitate the smooth running of diplomatic visits.<;/span>;<;/p>;<;/blockquote>;<;p>;<;span>;One notable meeting that took place at Kensington Palace was between a Cherokee chieftain named Tomochichi and King George II in 1734. This encounter was a crucial early meeting between a British monarch and a delegation of Cherokee Indians‚ symbolizing continued peace between the two parties.<;/span>;<;/p>;<;blockquote>;<;p>;<;i>;<;span>;The British had just established the colony of Georgia in America‚ pretty much on Cherokee landWe hear from accounts the Cherokees face was painted in black and red‚ and he presented George II with sticks with feathers on them‚ a symbol of peace.<;/span>;<;/i>;<;/p>;<;/blockquote>;<;p>;<;span>;Its these kinds of meetings that remind us that the servants‚ the people who dont make the headlines‚ facilitated meetings of huge political importance. Allowing Kensington Palace to remain a centre of power.<;/span>;<;/p>;<;h2>;<;b>;The Importance of Wet Nurses and Royal Heirs<;/b>;<;/h2>;<;p>;<;span>;Kensington Palace was not only a political and social centre but also a family home. The birth and upbringing of healthy children were of utmost importance‚ especially in the early 19th century when the race was on to find an appropriate royal wife for the surviving sons. In 1819‚ a healthy baby girl named Victoria was born at Kensington Palace‚ bringing great success to the project of securing a legitimate heir to the British throne. Victoria would go on to become Queen Empress‚ highlighting the significance of the role played by the servants in birthing and raising royal children.<;/span>;<;span>;<;br>;<;/span>;<;/p>;<;div class=";wp-caption alignleft";>;<;img loading=";lazy"; class=";wp-image-5203243 size-large"; src=";https://www.historyhit.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Wet-N-urse-1024x574.png?x93264"; alt=";"; width=";1024"; height=";574"; srcset=";https://www.historyhit.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Wet-N-urse-1024x574.png 1024w‚ https://www.historyhit.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Wet-N-urse-300x168.png 300w‚ https://www.historyhit.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Wet-N-urse-768x430.png 768w‚ https://www.historyhit.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Wet-N-urse-1536x860.png 1536w‚ https://www.historyhit.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Wet-N-urse-893x500.png 893w‚ https://www.historyhit.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Wet-N-urse.png 1919w"; sizes=";(max-width: 1024px) 100vw‚ 1024px";>;<;p class=";wp-caption-description";>;Mishka Sinha showing Dan Snow Katherine Elliots portrait.<;/p>;<;p class=";wp-caption-text";>;Image Credit: History Hit<;/p>;<;/div>;<;p>;<;span>;<;/span>;<;span>;Taking care of and nourishing royal babies was a task entrusted to the most reliable servants.

From the keepers of the ice and snow to the seamstresses who stitched elaborate court dresses‚ each servant had their own unique contribution to the palace.
