The Seminole Controversy Revisited: A New Look At Andrew Jackson's 1818 Florida Campaign, Daniel Feller
Florida Historical Quarterly
Americans began their experiment in self-government with the notion that republics naturally love peace and monarchies naturally love war. As Thomas Paine explained in Common Sense, wars began when "crowned ruffians" attacked their neighbors-or their own subjects-in pursuit of personal wealth, power, or glory. "In the early ages of the world, according to the scripture chronology, there were no kings; the consequence of which was there were no wars; it is the pride of kings which throw mankind into confusion." Since the people at large were naturally peace-loving, republics would fight only in self-defense. Not by coincidence, said Paine, had …

Florida Classroom: Tea Sets, Tractors, T-1 Lines: The Survival Of A Small Town Library: The Hastings, Branch Library, Hastings, Florida, Nancy J. Levine
Florida Historical Quarterly
Hastings, Florida, can rightly be called "a wide place in the road." Three miles square, with a population of 687,1 Hastings is the potato capital of Florida, according to its welcome sign. But the town's small size seems to have given it long-lasting feelings of inferiority. Townspeople describe Hastings as "the stepchild of the county." Writing in 1993 to the editorial page of the daily newspaper, the St. Augustine Record, Hastings citizen Bill Parish complained that "[t]he one thing that administrators in St. Johns County like about our area is that beautiful shade of green of our money."

A Re-Assessment Of Seminoles, Africans, And Slavery On The Florida Frontier, Kevin Kokomoor
Florida Historical Quarterly
Recently, the focus on slavery within native societies has benfited from a great deal of scholarly attention, and several influential volumes have examined slavery as it existed within a number of southern tribes, including Cherokees, Chickasaws and Choctaws, Creeks, and particularly Seminoles.1 In other studies, historians have focused on the phenomenon of "marronage," experiences that "can be seen to hold a special significance for the study of slave societies."2 Eugene Genovese, for instance, suggested that some Indian communities were "utterly transformed by the entrance of large numbers of blacks," a phenomenon that although not widespread, resonated deeply in the Florida …

Inventing The Conch Republic: The Creation Of Key West As An Escape From Modern America, William C. Barnett
Florida Historical Quarterly
Key West has been a popular tourist destination for over seventy years, and visitors are struck by its distinctive sense of lace and by its sense of a lingering past. Various slogans call attention to its remote island location-100 miles south of mainland Florida, but only 90 miles north of Cuba-and emphasize its geographic and cultural separation from modern America. Tourism boosters call it "America's Southernmost City," "Margaritaville," "The Last Resort," and "the Conch Republic," and each label promises a place apart from the rest of the nation. The constant use of the words "escape" and "getaway" in tourism ads …

The Florida Fight For Equality: The Equal Rights Amendment, Senator Lori Wilson And Mediated Catfights In The 1970s, Kimberly Wilmot Voss
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1977, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) required ratification by three more states before it could be added to the U.S. Constitution. Florida was considered a battleground state and as the vote deadline loomed, pro- and anti- forces held marches and protests while celebrities and politicians visited the state to rally each side. In the midst of the heavy media coverage stood Florida Senator Lori Wilson-one of the few women in the legislature and a sponsor of the ERA. This study examines the fight leading up to that 1977 Florida defeat of the measure by looking at the media's coverage …

Entangled Borderlands: The 1794 Projected French Invasion Of Spanish East Florida And Atlantic History, Robert J. Alderson, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1793-1794 a motley group of South Carolina and Georgia backcountrymen entered into a conspiracy with French revolutionaries to invade Spanish territories in Louisiana and Florida. Although the plot eventually collapsed under pressure from the French and American governments, support for the expedition and resistance to the planned invasion provide a revealing chapter in the history of the southern backcountry and the Atlantic world. The confluence of multi-national, multi-racial constituencies in the heat of revolutionary fervor is ripe for re-evaluation. The most recent examination of the plot was conducted by Michael Morris, who placed the planned invasion of East Florida …

1892-A Year Of Crucial Decisions In Florida, Jesus Mendez
Florida Historical Quarterly
The figure of Henry Morrison Flagler towers her other men and women in modem Florida history. No individual-except, perhaps, his contemporary and fellow railroad man Henry Bradley Plant-can lay claim to his business acumen, daring, and romantic vision in fomenting Florida's growth and rising preeminence in the southeast United States. From dead last among the traditional southern states in 1900 in terms of population and manufacturing activity, Florida today ranks fourth among all states in the American Union as far as population and, in 2006, boasted of having one of its strongest economies.1 In addition, Florida today is, arguably, the …

The Strange Tale Of Wesley And Florence Garrison: Racial Crosscurrents Of The Postwar Florida Republican Party, Michael D. Bowen
Florida Historical Quarterly
For the first two thirds of the 20th Century, the Republican Party of Florida had a well-deserved reputation for being quiet, weak, and ineffectual. The Democratic Party dominated electoral politics so completely that some counties in the panhandle and north central Florida prided themselves on having no registered Republicans. Yet at the 1952 state Republican convention, held in the sleepy college town of Gainesville, the participants acted as if their meeting mattered. A group of upstarts led by Miami real estate developers Wesley and Florence Garrison, a couple some regarded as reformers and some regarded as rabblerousers, commandeered the front …

On 20 September 1910, law enforcement officers in Tampa arrested two Sicilian immigrants, Angelo Albano and Castenge (alias Castenzio and Costanzo) Ficarotta. They were charged with complicity in what ultimately turned out to be the fatal shooting of J. Frank Esterling, an accountant for the Bustillo Brothers and Diaz Cigar Company, a large cigar manufacture that employed some 600 workers in West Tampa. While Albano and Ficarotta were being taken to the county jail, at a time when Esterling was still alive though hospitalized in critical condition, a crowd of twenty-five to thirty people stopped the horsedrawn hack by which …
