Fernandina Filibuster Fiasco: Birth Of The 1895 Cuban War Of Independence, Antonio Rafael De La Cova
Florida Historical Quarterly
In early January 1895, Cuban exile leader Jose Marti completed preparations in the United States and the Caribbean to ignite a revolt against Spanish colonial despotism in his homeland. Three vessels were chartered in New York and Boston to retrieve hundreds of weapons from a warehouse in Fernandina Beach, Florida, and board contingents of Cuban revolutionaries in Key West, the Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica to disembark on the island in conjunction with nationwide internal uprisings. During the previous forty-five years, Cuban patriots had been launching dozens of similar military filibuster expeditions from the United States, which the federal government …

Florida In American Popular Magazines 1870-1970, Tommy R. Thompson
Florida Historical Quarterly
One might say that in the nineteenth century Americans discovered Florida. Fascinated with the abundant sunshine and the beauty of its flora and fauna, a steady progression of visitors tantalized the rest of the country with an "Edenic" image of the peninsula. Just one of the many travelers who journeyed to Florida, Harriet Beecher Stowe set the tone in the early 1870s with a description that made it practically irresistible to Americans of means: "The great charm, after all, of this life, is its outdoorness. To be able to spend your winter days out of doors, even though some days …

“Madam” Elizabeth: Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley’S Sisyphean Attempt To Join The “Cult Of True Womanhood”, Bella Biancone
Undergraduate Research and Scholarship Symposium
Nineteenth century notions of femininity and etiquette were governed by strict societal standards. “True Womanhood” was defined by four fundamental virtues– piety, purity, submissiveness, and domesticity. However, there was another pre-requisite for joining this revered cult¬: whiteness. No matter how pious or domestic a woman of color was, she could never hope to be considered a proper lady by Victorian standards. In discerning what it meant to be a member of that “cult of True Womanhood,” Black women were used to determine the boundaries of white womanhood; a “True Woman” was to be the antithesis of the stereotypical sexual and …

"Not A Single Battle But Rather A Real War": The Fight To Equalize Teachers' Salaries In Florida In The 1930s And 1940s, Caroline Emmons
Florida Historical Quarterly
Segregation had many faces in th South prior to the 1960s, but perhaps most familiar were the separate school systems for black and white children. The 1954 Brown v. the Board of Education decision, the landmark ruling that prohibited segregated schools, galvanized the civil rights movement and signaled the end of the South's racial caste system. Before the Brown fight was engaged or even fully conceived, however, efforts to equalize black and white teacher's salarie in the South laid the groundwork for a direct attack on school segregation. Florida was at the center of the pay equity battle. Between the …

"Set A Light In A Dark Place": Teachers Of Freedmen In Florida, 1864-1874, Laura Wallis Wakefield
Florida Historical Quarterly
As the Civil War came to a close and Reconstrution began, a small army of teachers arrived in Florida. Under the auspices of northern aid societies and educational associations, they proposed to teach emancipated slaves. Most did not have a problem motivating their students: many blacks recognized the symbolic and practical significance of literacy. Still, the teachers faced other challenges. Most had been fierce abolitionists. Their idealism had set them apart even from the mainstream of northern society and, combined with their collective identity as "Yankees," immediately put than at odds with Florida's white population. Consequently, violent resistance arose to …

Florida Historical Quarterly
On the afternoon of June 16, 1922, Alabama federal judge Henry Clayton addressed the Florida State Bar Association in Orlando.1 Invited at the last minute, Clayton had been in Jacksonville, holding court by special assignment.2 He knew many Florida lawyers--no doubt including Armsted Brown, an Alabama transplant who would be elected president of the Florida Bar that year.3 He was well accustomed to addressing such meetings, usually speaking on technical issues of law or legislation, and so he had accepted the invitation. But this time he had something broader on his mind.4

There wasn't much to Seagrove Beach the first time I saw it. I'm not even sure how my Grandmother found out it was there. Maybe she heard through friends who were part of the "Dixie Art Colony" that briefly met in the old hotel back in the 1930s. But the Depression ruined the colony, the hotel was torn down, and by the time my family rolled in that summer of 1954, a little store, a cluster of tourist cottages, and a few houses were all there was.

The Icelandic Man Cometh: North Dakota State Attorney Gudmunder Grimson And A Reassessment Of The Martin Tabert Case, Vivien E. Miller
Florida Historical Quarterly
In February 1922, after receiving a severe flogging from a whipping boss, a young white man from North Dakota died in a convict labor camp in Dixie County, Florida. The victim was Martin Tabert, and the circumstances of his death brought national scrutiny and condemnation of Florida's penal practices, forcing legislators to approve far-reaching penal reform . Historians N. Gordon Carper and Jerrell H. Shofner have addressed Martin Tabert's death and its legacy in earlier volumes of the Florida Historical Quarterly. Carper admirably reconstructed the story of Martin Tabert's untimely death from the Samuel D. McCoy Papers located in the …

Booker T. Washington's Tour Of The Sunshine State, March 1912, David H. Jackson, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Booker T. Washington, the preeminent African-American leader of his day, won followers and supporters by taking "educational tours" through Southern states. Traveling through Arkansas and the Oklahoma and Indian territories in 1905 won him much support for his agenda. His most successful tour, however, was through Mississippi in 1908, directed Charles Banks, setting the standard for subsequent tours. On his Mississippi trip, Washington spoke to an estimated forty thousand to eighty thousand people. Over the years, he spoke to well over 350,000 black and white people through these campaigns. Indeed, they were his means to "meet the masses of my …

Unlike the rest of the American South, Florida's tropical climates have made back porches less than ideal places to cool off, watch the world, and talk thing over. Heat, humidity, and mosquitoes force Floridian indoors. So, homes across the Sunshine State have Florida Rooms, enclosed patios with large windows that allow unobstructed views of the landscape. The Florida Room is both inside and outside, signifying leisured enjoyment of the outdoor whil protecting from its impositions. In 1985, during Governor Bob Graham's administration, even the open brick patio on the governor's mansion became a Florida Room: two walls of glass allow …
