Emergence Of Entrepreneurship In Transjordan During The Late Ottoman Empire, Lily D. Burke

Honors Scholars & Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium Programs

How did Ottoman policies influence the emergence of entrepreneurship among elites in Transjordan from circa 1850-1914? During the late Ottoman period, there was an economic transition from subsistence farming and herding to the development of large-scale, for-profit farms, privately owned by elites. The current study hypothesized Ottoman government policy prioritizing cash crop farming over subsistence farming and nomadic living created conditions that allowed elites in Jordan to develop entrepreneurship. To measure my dependent variable, entrepreneurship, I adapted Rostow’s Stages of Economic Development. To track my independent variable, Ottoman influence, I created a scale. From the thematic analysis of two case …

"Tequesta 1949, Annual Of The Historical Association Of Southern Florida", Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

The 1949 issue of Tequesta, the annual of the Historical Association of Southern Florida, which appeared while the last number of this QUARTERLY was in press, is the ninth of the series; and, as usual, contains a number of interesting historical articles relating to that region. Most of the papers were read at the program meetings of the Association and at the annual meeting of the Florida Historical Society last year when we were guests of that organization. The publication of these papers, year by year, makes a permanent addition to the recorded history of South Florida; a history which, …

Northern Plans For The Economic Invasion Of Florida, 1862-1865, Robert L. Clarke

Florida Historical Quarterly

Almost with the beginning of the fratricidal conflict of 1861-1865 far-seeing politicians and interested economic groups from the North began an economic invasion of the South. First, a Confiscation Act made all property used in support of the rebellion subject to seizure by the federal government. Later in 1861, despite Abraham Lincoln’s questioning of its constitutionality, Congress passed a second Confiscation Act which made the property of all Confederate officials subject to immediate confiscation by Union officials.

An Archeologist At Fort Gadsden, John W. Griffin

Florida Historical Quarterly

While the search for documentary evidence and the writing of articles and monographs on the history of Florida finds continued and increasing interest, the locations in Florida at which historic events occurred often lie neglected and all but forgotten. Such was the case of Fort Gadsden, a monument to the War of 1812 and to Andrew Jackson’s military forays into Spanish Florida. Recently, however, the United States Forest Service became interested in preserving and marking this structure as a historic site, and asked for the cooperation of the Florida Park Service in undertaking the background study necessary in such a …

Filibustering With The “Dauntless”, Richard V. Rickenbach

Florida Historical Quarterly

Through the indefatigable efforts of Jose A. Huau and Alphonso Fritot, Jacksonville was an active center of filibustering to Cuba in the years 1895-98. Huau was important for his local influence, and his store on the corner of Bay and Main streets served as the clearing house for negotiations of the filibusterers. It seems now that it would have been all but impossible for the revolutionaries to be successful had they not had the aid of Fritot, for he was the joint agent of all the railroads running into Jacksonville. 1 He had the power of being able to secure …

Now Is The Time, Florida Historical Society

Florida Historical Quarterly

Local histories are the foundation stones of State history. Florida, which is far behind its neighbors in the knowledge of its history, is beginning to catch up. A number of local and regional associations are organized, and some are collecting and preserving the historical material of their areas. Miami, Jacksonville, Pensacola, St. Petersburg, Palm Beach, the Manatee region, and others have collections. An important recent addition is the Tampa area with its Hillsborough County Historical Commission. There is a revival of historical effort in St. Augustine, the gem of Florida’s historic past, with the collection and work of the St. …

Negro Slavery In Florida, Part Ii, Edwin L. Williams, Jr.

Florida Historical Quarterly

As the plantation regime expanded in territorial Florida and the Negro population became more numerous it became necessary that the slave system should be supported by statutory law. The purpose of the law was primarily to control the slave through a strict regulation of the system, and only incidentally to give him protection from ill usage. In 1828 the Legislative Council laid the legal basis for future legislation concerning Negro slaves by the passage of an act which stated that “slaves shall be deemed, held, and taken as personal property for every purpose whatever." This act placed the Negro slave …

The National Farmers’ Alliance Convention Of 1890, And Its “Ocala Demands”, Samuel Proctor

Florida Historical Quarterly

Probably there were none as surprised or as pleased as were Florida’s four delegates to the National Farmers’ Alliance Convention when it was decided that the 1890 meeting of the National Alliance Supreme Council would be held in Jacksonville. Politically a part of the “solid South”, and with a population of only a few thousand, it seemed scarcely possible that frontier Florida would be chosen, nor could it well play host to any national organization, even one as politically adolescent as was the National Farmers’ Alliance in 1889. However, Florida’s invitation was accepted by the convention which met in St. …
