"The Fox Goes To France": Florida, Secret Codes, And The Election Of 1876, James C. Clark

Florida Historical Quarterly

Samuel J. Tilden’s defeat in the 1876 presidential election has long been the subject for contention and discussion. While many of the causes have received attention, the role played by the secret telegrams between New York and Florida has been overlooked. Confusion over the codes utilized for the telegrams prevented Tilden’s operatives in Florida from purchasing the vote of a key state official. Had the attempt succeeded, the state’s four electoral votes might have been awarded to Tilden, and the prize of the presidency would have gone to him and the Democratic party.

West Florida's Creek Indian Crisis Of 1837, Brian R. Rucker

Florida Historical Quarterly

Although Andrew Jackson’s forays into Spanish West Florida in 1814 and 1818 dispersed several hostile bands of Creek Indians, scattered parties remained in isolated forests and swamps. When Florida was transferred to the United States in 1821, settlers moving into the new territory soon were confronted with the presence of these natives. The majority were located in the central portion of the territory, but sizable bands lived in northwest Florida. The Treaty of Moultrie Creek, signed in 1823, provided for the settlement of approximately 800 friendly Creeks on reservation lands along the Apalachicola River. Smaller bands also lived along the …

Unforgotten Threat: Florida Seminoles In The Civil War, Robert A. Taylor

Florida Historical Quarterly

Confederate Florida, far removed from the clash of massed armies to its north, remained in many respects on the periphery of Civil War fighting. The state by no means, however, escaped the war’s impact as violence and the potential for violence served to its residents almost daily reminders of the national struggle. One dimension of Florida’s Civil War experience, a factor which threatened the escalation of violence throughout the conflict, previously has been neglected by students of the state’s history. That factor was the potential for Indian war.

William Pope Duval: An Extraordinary Folklorist, Frank L. Snyder

Florida Historical Quarterly

William Pope Duval, who served four terms as territorial governor of Florida, was a natural storyteller.1 His tales were crafted and fabricated with so much skill that his listeners believed every word as the absolute truth. DuVal never hesitated to shade the truth or to embellish his stories so that they became fictionalized accounts bordering on the fringes of reality. He wove a web of drama as he spoke and completely captured the attention of his audience. The stations in life they, the members of his audience, occupied did not matter— raw frontiersmen, uneducated workingmen, intellectuals, literary geniuses, or sophisticated …

Care And Control Of The Feebleminded: Florida Farm Colony, 1920-1945, Steven Noll

Florida Historical Quarterly

Hastings Hart, director of the Child Helping Department of the Russell Sage Foundation, reported in January 1918 that Florida’s “most acute and pressing social problem at the present time is the problem of the feeble-minded.” Hart, who prepared a social welfare plan for Florida at the request of Governor Sidney J. Catts, recommended that “Florida ought to make immediate institutional provision for at least 500 of this class [the feeble-minded], following the good examples which have been recently set by the states of Virginia and North Carolina.“1 A year later, on April 17, 1919, the state legislature followed this request …

Florida Historical Quarterly

In the fall of 1837, Second Lieutenant William Warren Chapman departed from Old Point Comfort, Virginia, bound for Florida on the Caladonia Brander. An 1837 graduate of West Point, he was en route to the Second Seminole War in Florida. After arriving at Fort Brooke in Tampa Bay on October 27, 1837, he was assigned to Company B, Second Artillery which had orders to regarrison Fort Foster.

The International Ocean Telegraph, Canter Brown, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

The Summer of 1865 was one of great relief for most citizens of the so-recently reaffirmed United States of America. A few weeks earlier, on April 12, Robert E. Lee had surrendered his Confederate Army of Northern Virginia to a victorious Ulysses S. Grant and, before the end of the following month, the last Confederate force of consequence remaining in the field, then serving under General Edmund Kirby Smith of St. Augustine, had followed suit. The nation had been shocked and saddened by the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln two days after Lee’s surrender, but to some extent the outrage …

Pensacola Progressive: John Moreno Coe And The Campaign Of 1948, Sarah Hart Brown

Florida Historical Quarterly

In 1951, John Moreno Coe, native of Pensacola, Florida, participated as an advocate for the defense in the celebrated case of Willie McGee, a black man tried and convicted three times by Mississippi juries for the rape of a Laurel, Mississippi, housewife. As with most of his clients, Coe passionately believed in McGee's innocence; further, he believed that McGee had been systematically denied due process by Mississippi courts. In his home town, almost no one except Coe’s family supported him in this crusade; his actions were perverse and strange in the eyes of most Pensacolians. Yet following McGee’s execution, Coe …

William Alexander Blount: Defender Of The Old South And Advocate Of A New South, Thomas Muir, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

William Alexander Blount, as a child, had experienced the frustrations of poverty and disorder resulting from the Civil War. While steeped in many of the values and traditions of the Old South, Blount was one of the new generation of southern leaders who, after the end of Reconstruction in 1877, strove to modernize the South through industrialization and closer cooperation with northern capitalists. His keen intellect and sharp legal mind served him well as a corporate lawyer for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in Florida. Blount’s legal career in Pensacola spanned the Bourbon period, roughly from 1877 to 1900, when …

John Wallace And The Writing Of Reconstruction History, James C. Clark

Florida Historical Quarterly

John Wallace, who rose from slavery to become a leading black politician in Florida during Reconstruction, has been nearly forgotten, while other black leaders have received overdue recognition for their accomplishments. Unlike those who are remembered for advancing the cause of blacks, Wallace left behind a different legacy— a book that was critical of his fellow blacks and Radical Republicans, and frequently complimentary of white conservation Democrats. The book, Carpetbag Rule in Florida: The Inside Workings of Civil Government in Florida After the Close of the Civil War, published in Jacksonville in 1888, became a major source for a generation …

"Give Us Twenty-Five Years": Florida Seminoles From Near Termination, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

In the years immediately following World War II, the nation experienced an ultra-conservative reaction to the social and economic policies fostered during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s unprecedented four-term presidency. Beginning in the late 1930s a coalition of conservative Republicans and southern Democrats set out to scuttle those aspects of the New Deal which they found most inimical to their ideology. When the Republicans regained control of the Congress in 1946, it signaled the beginning of a concerted effort to dismantle all but the most essential governmental spending programs. One of the federal bureaucracies singled out for annihilation— it did not enjoy …

Arcadia And Bagdad: Industrial Parks Of Antebellum Florida, Brian Rucker

Florida Historical Quarterly

Industrial development in antebellum Florida was rare; the new state’s economy was based primarily on agriculture, as were the other southern states. Two exceptions, however, are the interconnected industrial complexes of Arcadia and Bagdad, located in northwest Florida approximately twenty-five miles from Pensacola. Arcadia had its origins in 1817 and operated as an industrial site until 1855. Bagdad began in 1840 and became one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of yellow pine lumber until its lumber mill closed in 1939.
