Black Slaves, Red Masters, White Middlemen: A Congressional Debate Of 1852, James E. Sefton Nov 2021

Black Slaves, Red Masters, White Middlemen: A Congressional Debate Of 1852, James E. Sefton

Florida Historical Quarterly

A list of the most noteworthy congressional debates over slavery would include those on the Compromises of 1820 and 1850, the Gag Rule, the slave trade, and the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, among others. Sometimes, however, debate on a comparatively minor episode of a large issue can be highly illuminating. In the spring of 1852, the House of Representatives devoted perhaps ten hours to a bill which brought to a close a bizzare story that had begun sixteen years earlier during federal efforts to remove the Seminole Indians from Florida. Ever since the United States acquired Florida from Spain in 1819, white …

St. Augustine School: Seventy-Five Years Of Negro Parochial Education In Gainesville, Florida, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.

Land was secured and in 1873 a frame church was built on north Main Street where the Masonic Temple now stands. This structure served the needs of the parish for over three decades.

Rascal Or Representative?: Joe Oats Of Tallahassee And The "Election" Of 1866, Peter D. Klingman Nov 2021

Rascal Or Representative?: Joe Oats Of Tallahassee And The "Election" Of 1866, Peter D. Klingman

Florida Historical Quarterly

Ever since William Watson Davis, member of the so-called Dunning school of post Civil War historiography, popularized Florida’s Reconstruction as a period of dark, corrupt, rapacious rule, the image of the personalities and the events from 1865 to 1876, has remained tarnished. Revisionism, which overturned Davis's view by suggesting that Republican "rule" was tenuous at best and that corruption in politics was a sin of both parties, has only partially rehabilitated the traditional "tragic era." One incident still offered as "proof" for the traditional view of Negro and Republican rascality in Reconstruction is the story of Joe Oats and his …

Florida Whites And The Brown Decision Of 1954, Joseph A. Tomerlin Nov 2021

Florida Whites And The Brown Decision Of 1954, Joseph A. Tomerlin

Florida Historical Quarterly

The United States Supreme Court delivered its epochal opinion in the case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka on May 17, 1954. Chief Justice Earl Warren, only recently confirmed by the senate, read the unanimous decision, which held that "in the field of public education the doctrine of 'separate but equal' has no place." The plaintiffs in the suit, subjected to racially segregated systems of education, were thereby "deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment." But then the court postponed implementing its decree to hear more arguments in the next session on …

Tallahassee Through The Storebooks: War Clouds And War, 1860, Clifton Paisley Nov 2021

Tallahassee Through The Storebooks: War Clouds And War, 1860, Clifton Paisley

Florida Historical Quarterly

Tallahassee was a properous community, and the tastes of her citizens on the eve of the Civil War ran to luxury goods and labor-saving devices as indicated in the daybook for 1860-1863 of the William P. Slusser store on Monroe Street, Tallahassee. In the fall of the year, when schooners, barks, and brigs arrived at St. Marks port to pick up the some 50,000 bales of cotton shipped yearly out of Apalachee Bay, the vessels unloaded a variety of consumer goods that were eagerly awaited: bathtubs, washing machines to replace or at least to supplement scrub boards, and pumps and …

Membership Of The Florida Constitutional Convention Of 1868. A Case Study Of Republican Factionalism In The Reconstruction South, Richard L. Hume Nov 2021

Membership Of The Florida Constitutional Convention Of 1868. A Case Study Of Republican Factionalism In The Reconstruction South, Richard L. Hume

Florida Historical Quarterly

In accord with provisions of the Reconstruction Acts, members of the Florida constitutional convention assembled in Tallahassee in mid-January of 1868. An examination of the historiography of this controversial gathering, a body charged with framing the constitution which was to take effect when the state was returned to civilian rule, quickly reveals the existence of the standard Dunningite-revisionist dispute which has so characterized most writing on the postwar South. William Watson Davis, who completed his classic work on Reconstruction in Florida under the direction of William A. Dunning himself, believed that the delegates who attended the Florida "Black and Tan" …
