"The Nature Of Their Country": Florida's Environment And Military Learning The Second Seminole War, 1835-1842, Jacob Hagstrom
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the summer of 1839, after four years of inconclusive military campaigns, the army's adjutant in Washington asked Zachary Taylor why his troops had not yet removed all of the Seminoles from Florida. One of Taylor's opponents, Coacoochee, turned to nature as well to explain his ultimate failure to remain in Florida. Coacoochee's followers were among the last of about four thousand Seminoles to depart the peninsula for Indian Country in the west. The Indigenous resistance leader, sometimes known as Wild Cat, explained the reason for his surrender with reference to the densely wooded "hammocks" that dotted the Florida landscape. …

"The Land We Live In Is Our Own": Indigenous Conceptions Of Space In Eighteenth-Century Florida, James Hill
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1792, Okillissa Chupka, the mekko or headman of the town of Coweta Hitchiti, sent a message to Spanish King Carlos IV. Decyring Spanish officials' recent intereference in Coweta diplomacy, he asserted that "the Land we live in is our own & we are determined to have whom we wish in it." Statements like Okillissa Chupka's are not rare or uncommon in the documentary record. Indigenous leaders maintained the right to control who entered, left, or resided in their territory. All too frequently, scholars of Florida history have ignored the sovereign claims of Indigenous polities. However, Okillissa Chupka was one …

Florida Historical Quarterly
In the spring of 1774, Abaya welcomed British merchants to his Cuscowilla home with a lavish feast. His guests were a usual sight on the Alachua Plains of north central Florida, and their presence signaled the importance of a healthy international commerce to both Indian and European communities alike. What a celebration it was. Traditional Indigenous dishes dominated the menu: corn cakes, milk and hominy, venison stew, and a drink of honey mixed with water. William Bartram, a naturalist who joined the trading party with hopes of cataloging the region's ecosystem, apparently enjoyed each of the courses. Although he expressed …
Charting A Path Toward An Indigenous History Of Florida, Denise I. Bossy
Charting A Path Toward An Indigenous History Of Florida, Denise I. Bossy
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1743, with the naive belief that the Calusas were finally interested in Catholic conversion, two Jesuit missionaries traveled to South Florida from Havana, Cuba. For decades Europeans described the region-in documents and on maps-as all but devoid of human life and, in particular, its Indigenous populations as being virtually extinct. Instead, the Jesuits discovered that South Florida was very much still under Indigenous control. A number of distinct Native confederacies-including one that consisted of Calusas, Bocarratons, and "Key" Indians and another of what one Spaniard called Maymies, Santaluzos, and Mayacas-exerted not only territorial control but also control over the …

An Apalachee Revolt?: Reconceptualizing Violence In Seventeenth-Century Apalachee, Aubrey Lauersdorf
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1647, a group of Apalachee diplomats arrived at an Apalachee town somewhere between the Ochlockonee and Aucilla rivers in the present--day Florida panhandle. The diplomats, representing communities across Apalachee territory, settled in the town's council house where their hosts welcomed, fed, and lodged them. Soon the Apalachees were joined by Chisca delegates, representatives of a people who had relocated near Apalachee territory from present-day Tennessee. Bands of Chiscas had recently entered Apalachee territory to raid Apalachee towns. Now they met for peace negotiations. The Apalachee delegates present at this meeting saw promise in a friendship with their erstwhile enemies.

Within weeks of the Americans declaring independence in July of 1776, diplomatic exchanges between Philadelphia and Madrid yielded essential cooperation as Spain secretly rendered supplies to the revolutionaries via New Orleans. By 1778, France and the United States became allies with hopes of luring Spain to officially join the conflict. That same year, Spanish emissary Juan de Miralles arrived in Philadelphia where many Americans welcomed him, noting his "pleasant disposition, social grace, and ability to make friends." In a letter to George Washington, Miralles assured the general that Spanish officials in Havana received orders to "communicate them to the Honourable …

The Christmas season is associated with the creation of many lists such as gifts, groceries and holiday cards. But there is another list citizen scientists assemble this time of year as well. The National Audubon Society (NAS) Christmas Bird Count (CBC), originally established to counter what had turned into an annual Christmas day bird slaughter, began in 1900 and look place at 25 different sites, primarily in the northeast United States although California and the Midwest were also represented.
Invading Eden: Exotic Pets And Invasive Species In South Florida, Andrew Pemberton
Invading Eden: Exotic Pets And Invasive Species In South Florida, Andrew Pemberton
Florida Historical Quarterly
On July 8, 2019, South Floridians woke up to a headline describing the removal of a sixteen-foot-long Burmese python and fifty of its eggs from beneath a suburban home near the Everglades. This is a common spectacle in South Florida. Floridians, long accustomed to their scaly, cold-blooded co-habitants, have seen these types of headlines since the 1980s. With increasing frequency, non-indigenous species are entering the state's public eye. Perhaps more remarkable than these snakes' presence beneath Floridia homes is their welcomed presence in households across the country. However, this trend in pet-keeping poses the most risk to ecosystems in Florida, …

On October 12, 1519, during the early days of the Spanish conquest of what is today Mexico, an irate Diego Velazquez, Governor of Cuba, wrote to the young Charles V of Spain from the port of Santiago de Cuba. In his letter he complained that a vessel had arrived August 23rd of that year, secretly and illegally from Mexico, with a substantial cargo of gold and jewels. The vessel carried Captain Francisco de Montejo, who would one day be the Governor of Yucatan and Honduras, and Captain Alonso Hernandez Puerto Carrero. The vessel sailed under the expert guidance of the …

The young women of Miami High School gathered in the auditorium on April 4, 1919, for a vocational hour to bear "a number of Miami's most brilliant and successful women [impart] a taste of what is to be accomplished by choosing the fitting vocation and getting a right start." The Rev. Mrs. Mecca Marie Varney (1873-1959), the organizer of the event, was well known in Miami with clout to draw the adept speakers together. Hailing from Iowa, the evangelical minister was a national leader in the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and a lecturer on the Chautauqua Circuit. Earning widespread …

A hundred yards down a sandy road, erected before a Spanish moss covered live oak tree, is a bronze plaque that recounts a brief story ofJoseph M. White and his political career, and emphasizes his importance in the early history of the Florida Territory as a delegate to Congress. Briefly mentioned is the reason the plaque appears at this location-"[White] became the owner of this site as part of a 3,000 acre plantation," naming his cotton and sugar cane producing estate Casa Bianca. The plantation, about three miles southwest of the town of Monticello in Jefferson County, had a "fine …

The Happiest Place On Earth?: South Africa, Divestment, And Anti-Aparteid Movements In Orlando, Florida In The 1980s, Jacob Ivey
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the mid-1980s, a series of protests erupted across the state of Florida attempting to address the issue of United States support for the apartheid regime in South Africa. In May 1986, Thandi Luthuli-Gcabashe, the daughter of the late African National Congress president Albert Luthuli and coordinator of the South Africa Peace Education Program, was the key speaker for a public hearing in the city of Orlando, Florida. Luthuli-Gcabashe spoke against U.S. support for apartheid and called for the full divestment of Orlando's pension fund as part of the prolonged campaign by anti-apartheid protestors beginning in 1985. It was just …

In 1829, George J. F. Clarke of St Augustine called on the St. Johns County tax assessor to make a return (itemization) of his taxable properties and those of each of his five adult sons. Clarke was one of the city's leading men, born in St. Augustine to Scottish parents during Florida's British period. Clarke's sons, born once Florida had returned to Spanish rule, were his children by his mistress, Flora Leslie, a slave he had purchased in 1793 and emancipated in 1797. In November 1828, the Legislative Council for the Florida Territory had enacted a revenue law that taxed …

Covert Cross-Racial Mobilization, Black Activism, And Political Participation Pre-Voting Rights Act, Loren Collingwood
Covert Cross-Racial Mobilization, Black Activism, And Political Participation Pre-Voting Rights Act, Loren Collingwood
Florida Historical Quarterly
Between 1944 and 1965, the Southern Black vote steadily grew in size and relevance. Yet little research has sought to untangle the ways in which Southern White candidates mobilized these voters, and whether Southern Whites played any role in advancing Black political participation prior to the Voting Rights Act. This paper examines the impact of cross-racial mobilization on African American political participation in the context of 1950s Florida and the covert means by which candidates courted the Black vote in the pre-Voting Rights Act (VRA) period. We define cross-racial mobilization (CRM) as conscious race-targeted mobilization of blocs of voters of …

All Disquiet On The Home Front: World War I And Florida, 1914-1920, Gary R. Mormino
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the eve of the First World War, the United States viewed events in Europe through a filter of isolationism and neutrality. Two vast oceans had reinforced an inclination toward internal affairs and paranoia, while engendering suspicion of diplomatic alliances and foreign revolutions. But events in faraway places-Sarajevo, St. Petersburg, and the Somme-made isolation impossible and neutrality improbable.

Narratives Of Reproductive Control In The American Eugenics Movement, Cassandra M. Provost
Narratives Of Reproductive Control In The American Eugenics Movement, Cassandra M. Provost
Honors Program: Senior Projects (Public)
In this paper, I will explore the eugenics movement as a pseudo-scientific political, social, and legal phenomenon which had a devastating historical impact on America’s most vulnerable women, as well as briefly discuss its residual effects on contemporary reproductive rights conversations, through the lens of literature. Using an interdisciplinary discourse and narrative analysis approach, I identify two distinct themes within the explored narratives: (1) the importance of a government’s attempt to override a person’s autonomy by destroying the person’s ability to reproduce, and (2) the impropriety of actions based on a negative attitude toward disabled or undesirable persons. In my …

J. Sterling Morton was one of the founding statesmen of Nebraska. He played a large role in the Democratic Party throughout his life, being appointed Secretary of the Nebraska Territory, running as the Democratic nominee for Governor four times, and serving as Secretary of Agriculture in Grover Cleveland’s cabinet. A newspaper editor, Morton had a public role in shaping political discourse. He advocated for conservation and founded Arbor Day, a tree planting holiday that continues to this day. His legacy has come under criticism in recent years due to racist comments and political platforms, especially in his younger years. Through …
