The New Americans, of course, have made assumptions that the Seminoles are the real power, whereas they're just first among equals. The Seminoles are happy to encourage this view, as it seems to discourage New American adventurism.

That's also possible, particularly as there are Black Seminole. The UG Seminole are explicitly supposed to be driving all the white people out of South Florida, which will need some figuring out in a coalition scenario, particularly since the southern counties are all majority white - Broward and Miami-Dade are both close to 70%, Collier is over 85%, and Monroe is nearly 90%. Those numbers drop if one doesn't consider white Hispanic to be white, but it's still something that'll need some thought to be plausible.

I don't know what the modules say about them because I haven't read most of them in a very long time but as a non-American, the Cajuns appear to be an interesting group that could be a help or a hindrance to the PCs (and anybody else) with one group of Cajuns potentially being friendly but with the next group being indifferent or even hostile towards the PCs.

Effectively none. There might be a handful in the Panhandle, but they're not a historically significant ethnic group in Florida. The Acadians went to Louisiana because of linguistic ties to France. Florida was Spanish until it was English (and then Spanish again, then American, then Confederate, then American again). Florida's old European settlers are the Crackers, a heavily Scots-Irish group.
