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 …

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 …

Campbell Town: French Huguenots In British West Florida, J. Barton Starr
Campbell Town: French Huguenots In British West Florida, J. Barton Starr
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Treaty of Paris signed between France, Spain, and England in 1763, transferred Spanish Florida and French Louisiana to the Mississippi River to Great Britain. With the Proclamation of 1763, this property became British West Florida. Almost immediately an extensive publicity campaign began to attract settlers to the Gulf coast of Florida. Typical of such propaganda were the sentiments of George Johnstone, newly-appointed governor of West Florida: "Upon the whole, whether we regard the situation or the climate, West Florida bids fair to be the emporium as well as the most pleasant part of the New World."

Continuity In Commerce: Development Of The Panton, Leslie And Company Trade Monopoly In West Florida, Thomas D. Watson
Florida Historical Quarterly
As the year 1782 drew to an end, the framers of Indian policy in British East Florida found themselves in a quandary. Although the evacuation of Savannah and Charleston signaled the end of military campaigning, the precise status of the British Empire in postwar North America remained unknown. To Thomas Brown, Indian superintendent of the Southern District, and Governor Patrick Tonyn, this uncertainty was a matter of real concern; numerous deputations of Indians—some from as far as the Great Lakes region— had descended on St. Augustine seeking assurances of continued British support. The officials responded by encouraging the Indians to …
Brigadier Frederick Haldimand - The Florida Years, Robert R. Rea
Brigadier Frederick Haldimand - The Florida Years, Robert R. Rea
Florida Historical Quarterly
The British colonies of East and West Florida were the fruits of one war and fell from the grasp of George III as the result of another. Throughout their brief history runs a common theme: both were part of a military frontier and to both the presence of British army units was of prime importance— economically, administratively, and socially. Their civil governors were men of modest competence at best. Trade never developed as profitably as merchants hoped, nor did immigrants rush to claim their untilled soil. But the army provided a degree of stability, as well as security, in spite …
The East Florida Society Of London, 1766-1767, George C. Rogers, Jr.
The East Florida Society Of London, 1766-1767, George C. Rogers, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the great speculation in American lands that preceded the American Revolution, there was more interest in the real estate of East Florida than in the property of any other region of British America. Charles Loch Mowat stated in his seminal study on British East Florida that the Privy Council in London issued orders in council for 2,856,000 acres of land in East Florida in the years from 1764 to 1770, while issuing orders for only 2,108,000 acres in Nova Scotia, New York, Quebec, and West Florida combined. Of the 227 orders for East Florida, 122 were issued in 1767, …
Governor George Johnstone Of British West Florida, R. F. A. Fabel
Governor George Johnstone Of British West Florida, R. F. A. Fabel
Florida Historical Quarterly
George Johnstone was the first governor of British West Florida. His activities from his arrival at Pensacola in October 1764, to his departure in January 1767, have inspired detailed by narrow description. What nobody has sufficiently considered are the reasons for his appointment as governor and the circumstances surrounding the loss of this office. These omissions are worthy of examination. It is surprising that a junior naval officer with a spotty record should have been selected for one of the more lucrative colonial governorships. Even more astonishing is that a man who proved to be the most vigorous and possibly …
Mermaids Riding Alligators: Divided Command On The Southern Frontier, 1776-1778, W. Calvin Smith
Mermaids Riding Alligators: Divided Command On The Southern Frontier, 1776-1778, W. Calvin Smith
Florida Historical Quarterly
George Clemenceau's oft-quoted remark that war was too important a matter to entrust to the military simply put into words a thought prevalent in the western civil mind at least since the days of the Roman Republic. The obverse, that politics is too vital a business to be left to politicians, is equally true in the western military mind but less-often spoken. For a general to utter these words would bring immediate accusations of a “Caesar-complex” or worse. That twentieth-century playwrights would permit such a statement only from a power-mad, insanely-obsessed general, such as Jack Ripper in the production, Dr. …
East Florida As A Loyalist Haven, Linda K. Williams
East Florida As A Loyalist Haven, Linda K. Williams
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the American Revolution broke out, East Florida, a British colony since 1763, supported the mother country and offered refuge to those in other American colonies who were loyal to the crown. East Florida became a loyalist haven when George III ordered Governor Patrick Tonyn to issue a proclamation in November 1775 inviting them to come to St. Augustine. Tonyn was also authorized “for the encouragement of such persons as may under these cruel Circumstances be induced to seek a happy Asylum in the Province, to make out for them gratuitous Grants of Land exempt from Quit Rents for Ten …
Blacks In British East Florida, J. Leitch Wright, Jr.
Blacks In British East Florida, J. Leitch Wright, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Blacks began arriving in Spanish Florida in the early sixteenth century soon after the appearance of Europeans, and from that point on they constituted a significant minority of the population, if not an absolute majority. During the British era, 1763-1784, blacks outnumbered whites. Except for rare instances, scholars interested in Negro history at any time during Florida’s lengthy colonial era will search in vain for published books and articles. A stroll 200 years ago through rice and indigo fields and through sugar houses of St. Johns River plantations or a visit to St. Augustine’s public market on the plaza and …

On November 4, 1836, Major General Thomas Sidney Jesup, recent quatermaster general of the army, was appointed supreme commander in Florida. His orders carried specific instructions to campaign along the Withlacoochee River, occupy the country between this river and Tampa Bay, and establish forts at strategic points in the interior that would ensure safety for the settlers and provide regular supplies for his command.

Civil War Letters Of Colonel David Lang, Bertram H. Groene
Florida Historical Quarterly
David Lang was born in Camden County, Georgia, in 1838, the oldest son among Robert and Margaret Lang’s seven children. Earlier his father had lived in Nassau County, Florida. After graduating from Georgia Military Academy in Marietta in 1857, Robert Lang returned to Florida with his family, settling near White Springs, where his son David became surveyor for Suwannee County.
