Race Relations In Territorial Florida, 1821-1845, Canter Brown, Jr.
Race Relations In Territorial Florida, 1821-1845, Canter Brown, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Race relations evolved in complicated and often confused ways in antebellum Florida, as did patterns of racial interaction in other parts of the South. Nonetheless, many students of the subject have written as if the institutions, patterns, and practices prevalent in the 1850s were typical of the region’s experience over the entire prewar period. In doing so, they have failed to account fully for regional variations and for changes over time.

"Hell-By-The-Sea": Florida's Camp Gordon Johnston In World War Ii, David J. Coles
"Hell-By-The-Sea": Florida's Camp Gordon Johnston In World War Ii, David J. Coles
Florida Historical Quarterly
World War II was a profoundly transforming experience in the development of the South and the state of Florida. As historian George Tindall has noted of the region, “To a greater degree than the previous war it put people on the move: to shipyards, war plants, training camps, and far-flung battlefields.” Military facilities costing more than four billion dollars came into being throughout the South, and Florida shared fully in this expansion. The war also brought increased prosperity to both rural and urban areas and hastened the demands of black residents for greater political and economic opportunities.

Carpetbagger Intrigues, Black Leadership, And A Southern Loyalist Triumph: Florida's Gubernatorial Election Of 1872, Canter Brown, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Carpetbagger reputations suffered greatly for most of the century following the end of Reconstruction. Within the past few decades, however, historians have reexamined the careers of many of these individuals and discovered that they made more positive contributions to southern life than previously thought.1 On the regional level this trend was exemplified by the 1988 publication of Richard N. Current’s Those Terrible Carpetbaggers: A Reinterpretation. In Florida, revisionist study was launched in the 1960s and 1970s when Joe M. Richardson and Jerrell H. Shofner offered new and comprehensive treatments of the period.2 Sarah Whitmer Foster and John T. Foster, Jr., …

Southern Extremities: The Significance Of Fort Myers In The Civil War, Irvin D. Solomon
Southern Extremities: The Significance Of Fort Myers In The Civil War, Irvin D. Solomon
Florida Historical Quarterly
Although critical to American military operations in the Third Seminole War, Fort Myers would have probably faded into history after its abandonment in 1858 if not for the Civil War. Towards the end of that bloody conflict the post took on a new significance for both sides. Not only did the Union reactivate the fort in the very midst of a presumed Confederate stronghold, but it staffed the garrison with black troops— the ultimate insult to those Southerners who stubbornly remained true to the Stars and Bars. Consequently, the recommissioning of Fort Myers resulted in the largest military action of …
William Tecumseh Sherman's Introduction To War, 1840-1842: Lesson For Action, Jane F. Lancaster
William Tecumseh Sherman's Introduction To War, 1840-1842: Lesson For Action, Jane F. Lancaster
Florida Historical Quarterly
William Tecumseh Sherman graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point on July 1, 1840, while the United States Army was fighting the Second Seminole War. About three months later this young second lieutenant, an Ohio native, received his first assignment as an officer, and joined the Third Artillery in Florida. Sherman spent the next seventeen months serving at three posts— Fort Pierce, Fort Lauderdale, and Picolata— from which he scouted swamps to find elusive Indians, led an expedition to bring in Coacoochee (Wild Cat)— one of the most colorful Seminole leaders— and commanded a supply depot.

Chinese And Western Ways Of War And Their Ethics, C. Anthony Pfaff
Chinese And Western Ways Of War And Their Ethics, C. Anthony Pfaff
The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters
US officials often portray the Chinese government as having few, if any, ethical boundaries in its pursuit of power. This article argues China, like Western countries, has a rich tradition of constraining this pursuit that can impact the nation’s policies. With a focus on the relationship between ways of war and ethics of war, it relies on traditional and contemporary scholarship from both the East and the West to highlight differences in how each military views the practical and ethical aspects of war and how these views can interact. Understanding the ethical logic available to one’s adversaries will allow US …

The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters
While propaganda and disinformation have been used to destabilize opposing forces throughout history, the US military remains unprepared for the way these methods have been adapted to the Internet era. This article explores the modern history of disinformation campaigns and the current state of US military readiness in the face of campaigns from near-peer competitors and proposes education as the best way to prepare US servicemembers to defend against such campaigns.

The root cause for the defeat of the Armenian forces in the second Nagorno-Karabakh War was flawed military doctrine inherited from the Soviet Union. This article analyzes the major problems faced by Armenia, uncovers the main reasons for unsuccessful innovation, tests empirical findings against some of the most authoritative theories of the field, and outlines current research on the largest state-onstate warfighting of recent years, while substantiating the analysis with established scholarship in the field of military innovation.

William Bartram's Travels In The Indian Nations, Charlotte M. Porter
William Bartram's Travels In The Indian Nations, Charlotte M. Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1773, the famous American naturalist William Bartram returned to the southeast portion of what is now the United States. The region was a more dangerous place than he realized. American “patriots” from Georgia were making troublesome border raids into East Florida. Many of the English plantations were owned in absentia, and the lives of the resident managers were, as Bartram knew from personal experience, isolated. Indian groups far outnumbered white residents in the Floridas, and they were becoming increasingly hostile. With an estimated 4,500 warriors, the Lower Creeks seriously impeded any colonial presence in the East Florida interior. In …

Florida's Confederate Guerrillas: John W. Pearson And The Oklawaha Rangers, Zack C. Waters
Florida Historical Quarterly
Secession and the approach of hostilities in 1861 found Florida unprepared for civil war. The state’s militia had disintegrated at the end of the Third Seminole War in 1858, and the attempts of Governor Madison Starke Perry to remedy its disorganized condition proved ineffectual. Perry warned Floridians that the political situation called for military preparedness, but his pleas led to little improvement. An 1859 report indicated that the state possessed only one battery of light artillery and fewer than 1,000 muskets and rifles, including more than 250 antiquated flint and steel muskets.

A Forgotten Sacrifice: Richard Gentry, Missouri Volunteers, And The Battle Of Okeechobee, Phillip Thomas Tucker
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Christmas Day 1837 battle at Lake Okeechobee was a crucial turning point of the Second Seminole War. Almost 30 percent of the American casualties in that engagement were volunteers from Missouri, forty men out of an effective volunteer force of 132. Among the dead was the volunteers’ commanding officer, Colonel Richard Gentry. While the battle’s American commander, Colonel Zachary Taylor, claimed a great victory, the clash was a disaster for the Missourians and, at that, was only the last in a series of difficult trials faced by the luckless regiment.

Across The Border: Commodity Flow And Merchants In Spanish St. Augustine, James Cusick
Florida Historical Quarterly
Spanish Governor Zéspedes, writing in 1788 to a superior about his impressions of East Florida, decried the colony’s reliance on Havana as its sole source of supply. The majority of the colonists were far too impoverished, he wrote, to afford the high prices of goods shipped via Cuba. He continued: “[T]hat a poor immigrant at the end of one year, when he has made his first crop, or a Minorcan with a wife and four or five children who does not earn half a peso fuerte a day, should have to provide his family with goods bought from that place …

"Tell Them I Died Like A Confederate Soldier": Finegan's Florida Brigade At Cold Harbor, Zack C. Waters

General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, by the middle of May 1864, was in serious trouble. The army still was a dangerous and effective fighting force, but major problems were beginning to surface. Casualties and command failures had crippled the officer corps, and three years of hard fighting had slowly sapped the strength of the southern army. Now it was facing an opponent in Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant who would neither retreat following defeat, nor give them the time necessary to recuperate. To solve his manpower problems, Lee’s only choice was to find replacement troops. That meant …

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 Commerce Of East Florida During The Embargo, 1806-1812: The Role Of Amelia Island, Christopher Ward
The Commerce Of East Florida During The Embargo, 1806-1812: The Role Of Amelia Island, Christopher Ward
Florida Historical Quarterly
When Thomas Jefferson’s embargo policy brought much of North Atlantic commerce to a halt, world economic patterns—already stressed by France’s continental system— readjusted along informal lines for the duration of the Napoleonic era. Of the numerous “transshipment” ports that evolved between 1807 and 1812, none became more significant than Amelia Island, “neutral” Spain’s northernmost settlement on the Florida Atlantic seaboard. Just a few hundred feet across the St. Marys River from Georgia, Amelia Island (Fernandina after 1811) became an important link in a chain that enterprising merchants forged to bypass American trade restrictions. The years before the War of 1812 …

The Spanish St. Augustine Community, 1784-1795: A Reevaluation, Sherry Johnson
Florida Historical Quarterly
While documentation is available, historians have not accurately defined the community in St. Augustine after the return of Spanish rule in 1784. Community studies abound for towns in Europe and North America, but community study techniques, which have been so successful in reinterpreting North American colonial history, have been underutilized by Latin American historians. Eighteenth-century St. Augustine presents an opportunity to investigate one frontier settlement and the origins of its inhabitants. However, the point of beginning for any such study must be a definition of the structure of the community itself. Research reveals that St. Augustine resembled other Spanish American …
