From A Territorial To A State Judiciary: Florida's Antebellum Courts And Judges, James M. Denham
From A Territorial To A State Judiciary: Florida's Antebellum Courts And Judges, James M. Denham
Florida Historical Quarterly
When the United States received Florida from Spain in 1821, one of the most obvious tools of instituting federal authority was the establishment of the American system of jurisprudence on the Florida frontier. Soon plans were under way to establish courts. During its territorial period (1821-1845) the national government in Washington provided Florida with its judicial officers. Presidents Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, and Polk served in the White House and each appointed federal judges, district attorneys, and marshals for the judicial districts. In 1822 Congress divided the territory at the Suwannee River into two judicial districts. Superior …

Edward M. Wanton And The Settling Of Micanopy, Frank Marotti, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
During the Second Spanish Period (1784-1821) and its early years as a United States territory, East Florida was rocked by violence, lawlessness, and uncertainty. Under Spain’s weak, distracted rule, the province served as a haven for Indians, runaway slaves, and white adventurers seeking to profit from Madrid’s crumbling imperial fortunes. Moreover, a young, ambitious United States coveted the region, both to bolster its national security and to provide new lands for its burgeoning citizenry. When the American regime finally established itself, however, it soon faced armed resistance from Seminole warriors.
The Florida Crisis Of 1826-1827 And The Second Seminole War, Canter Brown, Jr.
The Florida Crisis Of 1826-1827 And The Second Seminole War, Canter Brown, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The Second Seminole War comprised the single most significant event of Florida’s territorial period. Lasting from December 1835 to August 1842, the contest produced results and influences that reverberated through generations. Among other considerations, its violence reached into the fabric of society to exacerbate racial, ethnic, and regional divisions and to mark patterns of behavior and race relations. The struggle provided context for the clashes that characterized the drive toward statehood. It witnessed the birth and evolution of area Democratic and Whig parties. Additionally, the war brought to Florida a bounty of federal government expenditures and internal improvements, while dictating …

Fontaneda Revisited: Five Descriptions Of Sixteenth-Century Florida, John E. Worth
Fontaneda Revisited: Five Descriptions Of Sixteenth-Century Florida, John E. Worth
Florida Historical Quarterly
The well-known relation of Hernando de Escalante Fontaneda, the Spanish sailor shipwrecked on the Florida coast in the mid sixteenth century, has correctly been described by David O. True as a document that “should share the top rank of Florida source records.“1 It constitutes one of the earliest descriptions of the Indians of Florida and is rich in ethnographic detail. Although the text of the body of Fontaneda’s account (the Memoir) and a separate fragment associated with it (the Memoranda) have been published by True in both transcribed and translated form, this published version came from Buckingham Smith’s transcription of …
In The Shadow Of Jackson: Uriah Blue's Expedition Into West Florida, Brian R. Rucker
In The Shadow Of Jackson: Uriah Blue's Expedition Into West Florida, Brian R. Rucker
Florida Historical Quarterly
Students of Florida history are well acquainted with General Andrew Jackson’s controversial invasions of Spanish Florida in 1814 and 1818. But what is not as well known is a related military expedition, that of Major Uriah Blue who led approximately 1,000 American forces into Spanish West Florida between December 1814 and January 1815. Andrew Jackson’s concurrent, and famous, battle with the British at New Orleans overshadowed Blue’s expedition. Yet, Blue’s troops played an integral part in Jackson’s overall plan. Both the expedition’s successes and failures affected future American-Spanish relations, for Jackson would reinvade Florida several years later to fight the …
Aid Societies Were Not Alike: Northern Teachers In Post-Civil War Florida, John T. Foster, Jr.
Aid Societies Were Not Alike: Northern Teachers In Post-Civil War Florida, John T. Foster, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Northern teachers in the South during the Civil War and Reconstruction have been the subject of various studies.1 This literature emphasizes the origins and development of the aid societies that sponsored the teachers, and it focuses upon major figures who shaped educational policy. At the same time, little attention details the activities of early northern teachers in Florida within the context of developments in other places. Florida’s experience varies from other parts of the South, and it offers, by contrast, a fresh perspective on the regional experience. Ansel Eddy Kinne’s career provides an opportunity for understanding aid societies. From early …
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.

Ringing Up A School: Mary Mcleod Bethune's Impact On Daytona, Audrey Thomas Mccluskey
Ringing Up A School: Mary Mcleod Bethune's Impact On Daytona, Audrey Thomas Mccluskey
Florida Historical Quarterly
The limited scholarly attention given to Mary McLeod Bethune has focused either on her pioneering efforts to integrate the federal bureaucracy during the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt or on her equally trailblazing work in the black women’s club movement.1 To be sure, historians have recognized Bethune as one of this country’s most important educators, but this critical aspect of her career remains imperfectly understood. This is especially true of the school that she founded for women in 1904, which became the coeducational liberal arts institution Bethune-Cookman College.

Color Matters: The Creation Of The Saralee Doll, Gordon Patterson
Color Matters: The Creation Of The Saralee Doll, Gordon Patterson
Florida Historical Quarterly
"It had begun with Christmas,” declared Claudia, Toni Morrison’s narrator in her novel The Bluest Eye. “The big, the special, the loving gift was always a big, blue-eyed, Baby Doll. From the clucking sounds of adults I knew that the doll represented what they thought was my fondest wish. I was bemused with the thing itself, and the way it looked. What was I supposed to do with it?“1 Through much of the twentieth century, generations of African-American children experienced the full force of this fictional character’s dilemma. Their skin color posed a barrier between their self-image and the image …
Harmon Murray: Black Desperado In Late Nineteenth-Century Florida, Billy Jaynes Chandler
Harmon Murray: Black Desperado In Late Nineteenth-Century Florida, Billy Jaynes Chandler
Florida Historical Quarterly
North Florida was far from the Wild West, but for a time in the late nineteenth century it ceded little in the notoriety of its outlaws to that famous region. If Harmon Murray, leader of the “north Florida gang,” has not taken his place in history alongside Billy the Kid or Jesse James, it was hardly his fault. Though he was soon forgotten, at the time of his death in late summer 1891 Murray’s name was known throughout the state and beyond. The reasons for Murray’s quick rise to fame had much to do with his skill, courage, and sheer …

Civil Rights Leader Harry T. Moore And The Ku Klux Klan In Florida, James C. Clark
Florida Historical Quarterly
On Christmas night 1951 Harry Tyson Moore became the first civil rights leader assassinated in the United States when a bomb placed beneath the bedroom of his small frame home in Mims, Florida, exploded. It killed Moore and his wife Harriett. For many years Moore had been an ambitious fighter for civil rights in Florida. He led the first effort in Florida to achieve equal pay for black teachers, organized the state’s first black voter registration drives, established the first state conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and spoke up when law enforcement officials …

The Other Side Now: What Blanding Prisoners Of War Told The Wehrmacht, Robert D. Billinger, Jr.
The Other Side Now: What Blanding Prisoners Of War Told The Wehrmacht, Robert D. Billinger, Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
Fifty years after the arrival of German prisoners of war in Florida their story is still little known.1 Admittedly their presence was minimal since only about 4,000 out of the 378,000 German prisoners who spent time in America were detained in the state. Florida was one of forty-five states with POWs, and the base camp at Camp Blanding, with its fifteen side camps, was only one of 155 base camps in the continental United States.
