Blacks And The Seminole Removal Debate, 1821-1835, George Klos
Blacks And The Seminole Removal Debate, 1821-1835, George Klos
Florida Historical Quarterly
The rise of Jacksonian democracy in the United States during the 1820s and 1830s led to a national program of Indian displacement for the benefit of white settlers and land speculators. Disputes between whites and Indians over the possession of black slaves was a very prominent feature of Indian removal from Florida. Unlike Indian removal in other parts of the United States, land was not the main issue; thousands of acres of public land could be had in Florida without dispossessing the Seminoles. Mediation of white-Seminole slave disputes failed, in part, because the federal Indian agents often owned and speculated …
The Spanish St. Augustine Community, 1784-1795: A Reevaluation, Sherry Johnson
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 …
Pensacola Progressive: John Moreno Coe And The Campaign Of 1948, Sarah Hart Brown
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 …

"A Gang Of Pirates": The Confederate Lighthouse Raids In Southeast, Rodney E. Dillon, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
In July of 1861, three months after Confederate gunners opened fire on Fort Sumter igniting the Civil War, a distinguished group of United States Army, Navy, and civilian officials met in Washington, DC. These men, Flag Officer Samuel F. DuPont, Commander Charles H. Davis, Major John G. Barnard, and Superintendent Alexander D. Bache of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, had been appointed by the Navy Department as a blockade board to study the geography and topography of the southern coastline, the state of Federal naval resources and manpower, and the strategic and tactical plans necessary to make President …
Settlement Patterns In Alachua County, Florida, 1850-1860, Everett W. Claudle
Settlement Patterns In Alachua County, Florida, 1850-1860, Everett W. Claudle
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1773, the English botanist William Bartram traveled through north-central Florida. Impressed with the richness of the soil in the Alachua region, he commented on the variety and quantity of crops that the Indians who lived there seemed to grow with ease. Despite Bartram’s favorable report, and later comments like it, few settlers arrived in the area to establish farms and plantations when Florida became an American territory in 1821. Indeed, more than just fertile soil would be needed to lure farmers into the Florida wilderness. In this regard, the account of plantation agriculture’s arrival in Alachua County, Florida, will …
John Wallace And The Writing Of Reconstruction History, James C. Clark
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 …

Tom Moreno: A Pensacola Creole, William S. Coker
Tom Moreno: A Pensacola Creole, William S. Coker
Florida Historical Quarterly
A recently published volume about the Moreno family of the Gulf coast contained a picture and brief note about Tom Moreno who died in Pensacola, September 23, 1942. Tom reportedly was over 100 years old at the time of his death, but he could have been as young as eighty-three or as old as 105 depending upon which source one used (see table). An article by Gary R. Mormino, which was published in the Florida Historical Quarterly, called attention to an interview with Moreno conducted by Modeste Hargis in 1937 as part of the Work Projects Administration, Federal Writers’ Project. …

From Can't To Can't: The North Florida Turpentine Camp, 1900-1950, Robert N. Lauriault
From Can't To Can't: The North Florida Turpentine Camp, 1900-1950, Robert N. Lauriault
Florida Historical Quarterly
The dark slides like a tight glove over the solitary woods camp, and no man’s light affronts the majesty of the night sky. An insipid stirring of the warm evening air sets a single pine bough to swaying. Overall, stillness reigns— silence but for the monotony of a distant chuck-wills-widow and the earnest chant of frogs from some distant bog beyond the gloomy line of slash pines— the trees that make of the camp an island in a shadowy, evergreen sea.
"Give Us Twenty-Five Years": Florida Seminoles From Near Termination, Harry A. Kersey, Jr.
"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 …
Sibling Stewards Of A Commercial Empire: The Innerarity Brothers In The Floridas, Thomas C. Kennedy
Sibling Stewards Of A Commercial Empire: The Innerarity Brothers In The Floridas, Thomas C. Kennedy
Florida Historical Quarterly
Marquis James, in his biography of Andrew Jackson, alluded to John Forbes and Company, a firm which had succeeded Panton, Leslie and Company in 1804, and asserted that members of the Forbes enterprise “remained the actual rulers of Florida.” Among its members in 1804 were James Innerarity and his brother John. Of the latter, Marquis wrote: “Like a white shadow, John Innerarity glided through the weaving labyrinth, never on the losing side.“ Another scholar contended that individuals connected with both companies “were influential with the governments under which they lived, and exercised unmeasured control over the Indian tribes with which …

"Everybody Votes For Gilchrist": The Florida Gubernatorial Campaign Of 1908, Ric A. Kabat
"Everybody Votes For Gilchrist": The Florida Gubernatorial Campaign Of 1908, Ric A. Kabat
Florida Historical Quarterly
The sun was breaking through in Tallahassee on January 5, 1909, as groups of people filled the streets excitedly awaiting the inauguration of Florida’s new governor. The capitol was adorned with red, white, and blue bunting, and crowds had gathered on the grounds to watch the ceremonial festivities. At 12:00 P.M., Albert W. Gilchrist recited the oath officially accepting the office that he had sought so long and hard. Stepping to the podium, he could see hundreds of people waiting to hear his inaugural address. Many wondered: will Gilchrist be progressive? Will he pursue liberal policies or will his administration …
