The Southern Boundary Commission, The Chattahoochee River, And The Florida Seminoles, 1799, Jack D. L. Holmes
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the pressure of European affairs mounted during 1795, Spain’s Minister of State, the erratic Manuel de Godoy, was persuaded to sign the Treaty of San Lorenzo (Pinckney Treaty) with the United States in an effort to neutralize that power in the approaching struggle with the English. Whatever its utility to Spain in Europe, this treaty marked the beginning of the end for Spain’s North American empire by yielding control over the Mississippi and by surrendering the strategic posts north of the thirty-first parallel and east of the Mississippi.

The Florida Militia's Role In The Battle Of Withlacoohee, George C. Bittle
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Battle of Withlacoochee, fought in a swampy wilderness on the last day of 1835, generated a controversy which was more heated than the engagement itself. It was the Florida militia’s first relatively large-scale battle, and unfortunately, a subsequent bitter exchange of recriminations took place between Brigadier General Duncan Lamont Clinch, the regular army commander, and Brigadier General Richard Keith Call, Florida militia commander and territorial governor. Thus the role of the Florida men in their first serious military test became a matter of debate.

British Strategy And Southern Indians: War Of 1812, John K. Mahon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Hardly had land operations commenced in Canada during the War of 1812, when British officers in North America and adjacent waters began to recommend a diversion somewhere to the southward to relieve the pressure at the north. As early as November 1812, Admiral Sir John Borlase Warren, British commander on the North American station, suggested the shores of the Gulf of Mexico as the proper place, especially New Orleans. Seizure of that city, he said, would throttle the states of Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee, which were then spearheading the war against Upper Canada.

British Designs On The Old Southwest: Foreign Intrigue On The Florida Frontier, 1783-1803, J. Leitch Wright, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
It is widely recognized that for years after the American Revolution Britain played an important role in the affairs of the Old Northwest. In spite of the peace treaty’s provisions, she continued to occupy military posts ceded to the United States. Using these posts as centers, Canadian traders continued to monopolize most of the Indian commerce north of the Ohio, and the Indians in this vast region still looked to Detroit, Niagara, and Quebec, rather than to New York, Pittsburgh, or Philadelphia for commercial and political leadership. In theory the Old Northwest was an integral part of the United States; …

Florida was admitted to the Union on March 3, 1845, 2nd after much effort the new state’s first congressional delegation was selected. David Levy Yulee and James D. Westcott were named to the Senate and William Henry Brockenbrough to the House of Representatives. Florida’s first congressman was actually Edward C. Cabell of Tallahassee, but his election was successfully contested by Brockenbrough, also of Tallahassee, who took his seat in the Congress on January 24, 1846.

Marcellus L. Stearns, Florida's Last Reconstruction Governor, Claude R. Flory
Florida Historical Quarterly
Marcellus Lovejoy Stearns, Florida’s eleventh governor and its last Republican governor, is easily remembered for certain indisputable distinctions. He was the only speaker of the Florida House of Representatives to preside over seven sessions of the legislature-including extra sessions. At thirty-four, he was Florida’s youngest governor and the only native of Maine ever to become governor of this state. Interestingly enough, he was succeeded by George F. Drew, a native of New Hampshire, who was born only fifty miles from Stearns’ birthplace.

The Siege Of Pensacola: An Order Of Battle, Albert W. Haarmann
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Siege of Pensacola by the Spanish in 1781 has been generally ignored in most military histories of the American Revolution. In some accounts brief reference is made to it, but by and large, it is part of a forgotten theater of that war. Admittedly it is easy to observe that Continental or Patriot forces were not involved and therefore this campaign cannot properly be considered within the scope of our Revolution. On the other hand, we cannot ignore a campaign that involved approximately 10,000 combatants and the outcome of which gave us a relatively peaceful neighbor on our southern …

The Florida Press And The Democratic Presidential Primary Of 1912, George N. Green
Florida Historical Quarterly
Two northern gubernatorial elections in 1910 brought to the fore potential presidential candidates for the Democratic Party. These two men were Judson Harmon, the mustachioed professional politician and governor of Ohio, and Woodrow Wilson, the austere history professor and president of Princeton University and the governor of New Jersey. Florida and Georgia were the only two southern states where Democratic primaries would determine who would receive the states’ delegation vote at the Democratic national convention in July 1912. This was the first presidential primary in Florida’s history.

The Florida Land And Colonization Company, Richard J. Amundson
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Florida Land and Colonization Company, Limited, came into being as a result of Henry S. Sanford’s desire to make his Florida real estate holdings pay bigger dividends. In the years following the Civil War, Sanford, then minister to Belgium, had invested in the South - a cotton plantation in South Carolina, a sugar plantation in Louisiana, and a large block (approximately 23,000 acres) of undeveloped land on Lake Monroe in Florida, the so-called Sanford Grant. Sanford proposed to turn a portion of his land in Florida into a model orange grove and sell the remainder to others who he …
