Custom, Law, And History: The Enduring Influence Of Florida's "Black Code", Jerrell H. Shofner
Custom, Law, And History: The Enduring Influence Of Florida's "Black Code", Jerrell H. Shofner
Florida Historical Quarterly
In October 1956, Dr. Deborah Coggins, health officer for Madison, Jefferson, and Taylor counties, sat down to lunch in Madison, Florida, with a public health nurse to discuss a matter of mutual official concern. Because of their busy schedules the lunch hour was the only mutually available time for the meeting. But since the doctor was white and the nurse black, the business luncheon led to the dismissal of the doctor by indignant commissioners of the three counties. Her “breach of social tradition” had been so serious, according to the commissioners, that it rendered her unfit to continue in the …
Weapons, Strategies, And Tactics Of The Europeans And The Indians In Sixteenth- And Seventeenth-Century Florida, Barbara A. Purdy
Weapons, Strategies, And Tactics Of The Europeans And The Indians In Sixteenth- And Seventeenth-Century Florida, Barbara A. Purdy
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Indians of Florida were hostile to white explorers, adventurers, colonists, and missionaries from the time of Ponce de León’s encounter in 1513 until 1710 when it was reported, “there remains not now so much as one Village with ten Houses in it, in all Florida, that is subject to the Spaniards.“ These were the Apalachee and Timucua Indians of northwest and central Florida, but it is known that the Tocobago Indians had been destroyed by 1709. The Ais, never many in number, seem to have disappeared sometime during the first half of the eighteenth century, and the Tekesta were …

Elijah Swift's Travel Journal From Massachusetts To Florida, 1857, Florida Historical Society
Elijah Swift's Travel Journal From Massachusetts To Florida, 1857, Florida Historical Society
Florida Historical Quarterly
"From a wretched place...in a wretched car we commenced our wretched ride." Elijah Swift’s remark summarized precisely the way he perceived his journey by rail from New England to Tallahassee-eight days of erratic schedules, lengthy delays, unpredictable hotel accommodations, questionable food, and fatigue. Swift had travelled this same route the year before, and the prospect of making another excursion to Florida could hardly have been attractive. The trip seemed interminable as one was jolted forward in railway car, steamboat, wagon, or stagecoach, and fortunate was the passenger who could doze or enjoy conversation with his companions.
Opposing Views Of La Florida - Alvar Núnez Cabeza De Vaca And El Inca, Jose B. Fernandez
Opposing Views Of La Florida - Alvar Núnez Cabeza De Vaca And El Inca, Jose B. Fernandez
Florida Historical Quarterly
The most thorough description in Spanish letters of La Florida, which extended from the Florida peninsula to Mexico during the period of Spanish exploration, is found in the Relación of Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca. Yet, for centuries, it has been the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega who has enjoyed the undisputed distinction in Spanish literature, as well as in history, of being the “chronicler of Florida.”
Clan Affiliation And Leadership Among The Twentieth-Century Florida Indians, R. T. King
Clan Affiliation And Leadership Among The Twentieth-Century Florida Indians, R. T. King
Florida Historical Quarterly
As late at the 1950s, the Florida Seminoles were among the least acculturated of North American Indians. Three nineteenth-century wars with the United States had ended in defeat for the Seminoles, shattering their political structure and forcing the removal of the great majority of their people to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi. The remnant bands had dispersed into the uninhabited reaches of South Florida, where, largely left to their own devices, they continued to lead a life based on hunting, gathering, and swidden (cut and burn) agriculture. They were not able to resume their rather sophisticated pre-war political structure, …
Race Relations And Florida Gubernatorial Politics Since The Brown Decision, David R. Colburn
Race Relations And Florida Gubernatorial Politics Since The Brown Decision, David R. Colburn
Florida Historical Quarterly
The United States Supreme Court, on May 17, 1954, delivered its famous Brown decision which forbade separate public school systems for black and white children. Reaction throughout most of the South was swift, and among public officials it ranged from hostility and bitterness to mild anger. Georgia’s Governor Herman Talmadge was perhaps the most outspoken in his opposition to the decree: “The United States Supreme Court by its decision today has reduced our Constitution to a mere scrap of paper.” Mississippi’s Senator James Eastland was scarcely less vitriolic: “The South will not abide by nor obey this legislative decision by …

Seminole, Glorida Jahoda

Once three had been snow. There had been vastly blinding seas as hard as rock and bone-penetrating cold. So much had depended upon the game animals that when they fled eastward, over the ice-locked Bering straits, The People followed them into a new land. Here, too, winters were white with swirling blizzards; here too the ice boomed in the rivers like thunder when it broke late in the spring. But not all of The People stayed with winter. Some followed game ever southward toward the spring. During the first few generations of the journey, veterans of it dwelt, first, on …

Visit To The Indian Nations: The Diary Of John Hambly, Daniel J. J. Ross
Visit To The Indian Nations: The Diary Of John Hambly, Daniel J. J. Ross
Florida Historical Quarterly
The early years of the second Spanish period in East Florida constituted a time for transition from British to Spanish administration, and for the establishment of relations between the new Spanish regime and its Indian and Georgian neighbors. These adjustments were carried out under the administration of Governor Vicente Manuel de Zéspedes. His successor, Juan Nepomuceno de Quesada, sought to create an intelligence system so as to learn about events and conditions in the South and among the Indians.
The Struggle For Free Trade In East Florida And The Cédula Of 1793, Janice Borton Miller
The Struggle For Free Trade In East Florida And The Cédula Of 1793, Janice Borton Miller
Florida Historical Quarterly
One of Spain's most critical weaknesses in her effort to hold on to her empire in America in the eighteenth century was her incapacity to produce supplies necessary for her colonists. The Industrial Revolution provided England with goods in universal demand, but Spain had few industrial machines. Nevertheless, she was convinced that control of the trade of her empire brought in the highest profits for both home and colonial markets and provided the stimulus the colonial economies needed for their prosperity.
The United States Navy Comes To Pensacola, George F. Pearce
The United States Navy Comes To Pensacola, George F. Pearce
Florida Historical Quarterly
The presence the navy has been a factor in the history of Pensacola almost since the moment that Florida became an American possession in 1821. The action by Congress in 1825 of selecting Pensacola as the location for a navy yard put Secretary of the Navy Samuel L. Southard, and ultimately the commissioners whom he appointed to determine the site for that establishment, in an unenviable position. Acting under pressure from Congress, the secretary ordered the commissioners to Pensacola before a study by the government to ascertain the most suitable location for a navy yard on the Gulf of Mexico …

May Mann Jennings And Royal Palm State Park, Linda D. Vance
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the Everglades National Park was dedicated at Everglades, Florida, on December 6, 1947, by President Harry S. Truman, the ceremony was attended by a host of national and state officials and dignitaries and by more than 8,000 of the general public. Seated on the speaker’s platform among the honored guests was a woman whose involvement in the preservation of the Everglades went back more years than any other individual present. She was May Mann Jennings, widow of William Sherman Jennings, Florida’s eighteenth governor.
Slave Unrest In Florida, Ray Granade
Slave Unrest In Florida, Ray Granade
Florida Historical Quarterly
White Floridian, like other Southerners in the years before the Civil War, usually spoke of slave revolts in low, fearful voices. While their words indicated concern for the security of the group, their interest was essentially a personal one. They wondered how really safe they and their families were in the constant presence of vast numbers of servile blacks. Yet slave unrest involved more than insurrection. Murders, burglary, arson, rape, trespass were all crimes that an individual slave might commit even though he was not involved in an organized revolt. Floridians recognized these threats to their lives and property, yet …

One Pint At A Time: Documenting The Black Experience In American Craft Beer, Aaron Hose
One Pint At A Time: Documenting The Black Experience In American Craft Beer, Aaron Hose
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023
One Pint at a Time is a documentary feature by Aaron Hosé, created as part of the requirements for earning a Master of Fine Arts in Feature Film Production from the University of Central Florida. This is the first documentary film in history to focus exclusively on the stories of African American beermakers and brewery owners, their ties to ancient Egyptian and African brewing traditions, and how they are trying to make their mark within the business of craft beer; a multi-billion-dollar industry in which merely one percent of breweries are Black-owned and operated. Following the guidelines of UCF's program, …
Storm: An Exploration Of Home Through Painterly Animation, Kirstin Hardin
Storm: An Exploration Of Home Through Painterly Animation, Kirstin Hardin
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023
Storm is an animated short film that follows a family of Florida Sandhill Cranes. The family experiences a storm that destroys their nest and separates them from their smallest chick. The reunion of the cranes, at the end of the film, symbolizes that the sense of home consists of the members of the family, and not the physical place. The film combines digital two-dimensional (2D) animation with traditional paint on glass animation to create visual contrast between the cranes and the storm. The stylistic choices that I have made include showcasing paint strokes, going with a lineless and painterly animation …
"Clothes Make Men": Clothing And The Embodiment Of Gender In Virginia, 1750-1775, Rhiannon O'Neil
"Clothes Make Men": Clothing And The Embodiment Of Gender In Virginia, 1750-1775, Rhiannon O'Neil
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023
This study explores how late colonial Virginians used clothing to control, enforce, and negotiate gender. Gender, both as a system of power and as a category of social identity, became linked with the material forms of clothing that Virginians wore in their everyday lives. The identification of clothing with the body enabled Virginians to actively make choices about how to perform themselves to the wider culture of observation and perception present in the colony. Dress was ubiquitous, but its meanings were variable, changing, and unstable. In eighteenth-century Virginia, Anglo-descended colonists imported ideals from Britain, which then produced Chesapeake-specific gender relationships, …
Inheritance, Kenneth Noguera
Inheritance, Kenneth Noguera
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023
Inheritance follows the journey of a boy finding himself through the discovery of family secrets and his own sexuality. This hybrid work, part poem, part essay, explores a boy transitioning to adulthood while unearthing secrets about himself and where he comes from. He finds solace in the retelling of stories passed down from within his family and encounters creatures which shift, morph, and lie. In this surreal world, people commune with spirits, the dead find a voice, and a boy breaks and remakes himself. The work divides into three parts, beginning with memoiresque poems from the speaker leading to an …
Difficult History Education Via Design-Based Research: Teaching Historical Empathy Using Lucie Aubrac And The French Resistance As A Case Study, Sahar Eissa
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023
Technology-enhanced learning environments (TELEs) are educational tools that enable students to acquire knowledge, improving the quality of their educational experience. Educators face many challenges when teaching difficult histories about French resisters in World War II, such as Lucie Aubrac. Resisters' histories include deep emotions, choices, and hard decisions. There is a need for a new approach for teaching these topics and designing innovative digital tools to encourage educators and students to explore them. The current study designs and evaluates a TELE to teach difficult history via a historical empathy approach that engages students with difficult histories and provides them with …
Hermeneutics Of Hate: How Martin Luther's Rhetorical Manipulation Of The Greek Bible Led To His Anti-Judaic Treatise On The Jews And Their Lies, Michael Parrish
Hermeneutics Of Hate: How Martin Luther's Rhetorical Manipulation Of The Greek Bible Led To His Anti-Judaic Treatise On The Jews And Their Lies, Michael Parrish
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023
Though lauded as a Protestant hero, it is impossible to read Martin Luther's On the Jews and Their Lies and not think about the numerous acts of violence inspired by his commentary. Luther argues that his anti-Judaic treatise is simply reiterating the Greek Bible (the New Testament) and anyone who reads the Greek Bible would come to the same conclusion. This thesis argues that Luther adopted a hermeneutical Jew from theologians and the Greek Bible before him to create his own hermeneutics that demonized the European Jewish population with devastating consequence. Though much of the Greek Bible was part of …
