Historic Notes And Documents: "Everything Is Hubbub Here": Lt. James Willoughby Anderson's Second Seminole War, 1837-1842, James M. Denham
Historic Notes And Documents: "Everything Is Hubbub Here": Lt. James Willoughby Anderson's Second Seminole War, 1837-1842, James M. Denham
Florida Historical Quarterly
As the Second Seminole War drew to a close in the spring of 1842, Lieutenant James Willoughby Anderson prepared to leave territorial Florida for a post in the Old Northwest. Pondering his experiences and life changes since entering the territory in 1837, Anderson would have looked back on many significant accomplishments. He had helped produce an important topographical map, accumulated distinguished service commendations, and made important professional relationships certain to advance his military career.1 But most of all, Anderson would have thought of the important personal relationships forged during his four years of service in Florida: his courtship and marriage …

Segregation And Desegregation In Parramore: Orlando's African American Community, Tana Mosier Porter
Florida Historical Quarterly
Just before midnight on July 29, 1980, in front of Sister Reed's bar on South Parramore Avenue in Orlando, two white truck drivers in a Thunderbird stopped to ask directions, they claimed. A black woman in a white bikini approached their car, robbed one of them, and ran into the bar. The trucker started after her, but several black men attacked him before he reached the entrance. The police arrived as the altercation became a brawl, with an angry mob throwing rocks and bottles at the officers. The crowd burned a police car and looted and vandalized stores along Parramore. …

In The Interests Of Justice: The Burial Of Pondextuer Eugene Williams, Robert A. Taylor
In The Interests Of Justice: The Burial Of Pondextuer Eugene Williams, Robert A. Taylor
Florida Historical Quarterly
In the early morning of August 8, 1970, a Viet Cong mortar shell shrieked toward Long Khanh Province near Saigon. The resulting explosion mortally wounded Specialist 4 Pondextuer Eugene Williams of Company D, Second Battalion, Seventh Cavalry, First Air Cavalry Division. An African American barely past his twentieth birthday, Williams died very far from his Florida hometown. However, his service to his country did not cease with death. "Gene" Williams, as he was known to family and friends, became a symbol of the fight for equality and freedom, winning a final battle against the forces of racism and segregation in …

Historic Notes And Documents: The Mix Diaries, Gayle Penner
Florida Historical Quarterly
On the evening of March 22, 1836, Capt. Mervine P. Mix, U.S.N., brought the USS Concord to anchor in Key West harbor. The island was a good place to repair several damaged sails and to rest after the long voyage from the Portsmouth Navy Yard in New Hampshire. The Concord, 127 feet long with a 17-foot draft and mounting 18 guns, was one of the navy's finest sloops-of-war. Under its first commander, Matthew C. Perry, the Concord traveled some 2,800 miles, visiting ports in Russia, France, Spain, Italy, and the Greek Islands. With Mix in command, the ship sailed from …
Between Encounter And Experience: Florida In The Cuban Imagination, Louis A. Perez Jr.
Between Encounter And Experience: Florida In The Cuban Imagination, Louis A. Perez Jr.
Florida Historical Quarterly
The antecedents of the relationship between Florida and Cuba reach deeply into the sixteenth century, almost with the inception of European colonization. The peninsula loomed large in the imagination of the island. The enduring facets of this connection assumed discernable patterns early, principally in the form of successive waves of migration northward, spanning centuries, first by such personalities as Panfilo Narvaez and Hernando de Soto and most recently Elian Gonzilez. It is perhaps worth recalling that there was a time when Florida was once a dependency of Cuba, populated and subsidized from the island.
Violence, Racial Etiquette, And African American Working-Class Infrapolitics In Jacksonville During World War I, Robert Cassanello
Violence, Racial Etiquette, And African American Working-Class Infrapolitics In Jacksonville During World War I, Robert Cassanello
Florida Historical Quarterly
Before the 1980s, many historians thought that working-class African Americans were victims of racism and consequently played passive roles in history. With the emergence of the new social history, scholars of African American and urban history reexamined previous notions of black culture. They came forward with sources and interpretations suggesting that working-class blacks played a major role in shaping race relations in urban America.
Who Pays For Progress? Accident Law In Florida, 1845-1886, James L. Hunt
Who Pays For Progress? Accident Law In Florida, 1845-1886, James L. Hunt
Florida Historical Quarterly
Few residents of twenty-first-century Florida are unfamiliar with the notion of legal liability for accidental injuries. The image of the "ambulance chasing" attorney, the call for "tort reform," and a recurring medical malpractice insurance "crisis" are well-known to the casual observer of affairs. In fact, much of the modern business of Florida trial courts concerns automobile accidents, injuries from products, and professional malpractice. In 2000-2001, approximately 35,000 such cases were filed in the state's circuit courts, roughly 23 percent of all civil cases. About 2,000 involved professional malpractice, 4,600 products liability, and 17,000 automobile accidents.1 Despite its current prominence, legal …

The World Was There: A Photographic History Of Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex 14, Lori C. Walters
The World Was There: A Photographic History Of Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex 14, Lori C. Walters
Florida Historical Quarterly
"The Cape": for those old enough to recall the suspense of John Glenn's fireball reentry aboard Friendship 7, the name evokes the image of an inseparable triad-billowing rockets, towering gantries, and silvery astronauts. It was here along the eastern coast of Florida that the United States established its most noted launch facility at Cape Canaveral. Although missiles arose from the desert at White Sands and Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, it was the Cape that held the imagination of the nation captive. Cape Canaveral, with its bright orange gantries lining sundrenched shores, was from where America's astronaut heroes engaged …

Historic Notes And Documents: Life In Miami And The Keys: Two Reports And Map From The Monaco-Alana Mission, 1743, R. Wayne Childers
Florida Historical Quarterly
In 1743, some forty-five years after the Franciscans abandoned their disastrous mission to the Calusa, Jesuit Fathers Joseph Maria Monaco and Francisco Xavier Alaiia proposed Christianizing the Indians of the South Florida Keys.1 The natives had previously indicated that they wanted instruction, but when the priests arrived, the Indians rejected educational efforts and asked instead for supplies and whiskey. Despite the less than warm reception given the two priests, a fort was built for their protection. Alana returned to Havana to report on the expedition, leaving Monaco behind with twelve soldiers. The Governor of Cuba ordered their immediate return, however, …

Florida In American Popular Magazines 1870-1970, Tommy R. Thompson
Florida Historical Quarterly
One might say that in the nineteenth century Americans discovered Florida. Fascinated with the abundant sunshine and the beauty of its flora and fauna, a steady progression of visitors tantalized the rest of the country with an "Edenic" image of the peninsula. Just one of the many travelers who journeyed to Florida, Harriet Beecher Stowe set the tone in the early 1870s with a description that made it practically irresistible to Americans of means: "The great charm, after all, of this life, is its outdoorness. To be able to spend your winter days out of doors, even though some days …

Fernandina Filibuster Fiasco: Birth Of The 1895 Cuban War Of Independence, Antonio Rafael De La Cova
Florida Historical Quarterly
In early January 1895, Cuban exile leader Jose Marti completed preparations in the United States and the Caribbean to ignite a revolt against Spanish colonial despotism in his homeland. Three vessels were chartered in New York and Boston to retrieve hundreds of weapons from a warehouse in Fernandina Beach, Florida, and board contingents of Cuban revolutionaries in Key West, the Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica to disembark on the island in conjunction with nationwide internal uprisings. During the previous forty-five years, Cuban patriots had been launching dozens of similar military filibuster expeditions from the United States, which the federal government …

Reconstructing The Confederate Widow: An Analysis Of The Wives Of Fallen Confederate Soldiers And Their Response To Reconstruction And The Post War Era, Christian Beasley
Reconstructing The Confederate Widow: An Analysis Of The Wives Of Fallen Confederate Soldiers And Their Response To Reconstruction And The Post War Era, Christian Beasley
Campus Research Month
This study provides an analysis of how the post-civil war era and Reconstruction affected the financial, social, and political lives of the wives of fallen Confederate soldiers. Because men were the head of families and traditional breadwinners in the South, the widows of the 258,000 fallen Confederate soldiers had to reintegrate themselves into society and support their families without the assistance and comfort of a husband. Although this integration may seem straightforward, these widows struggled to overcome the economic and social difficulties laid before them, including the patriarchal traditions, mourning expectations, severe droughts, and unemployment that plagued these women. This …
1980s Farm Crisis, Dean Schmit
1980s Farm Crisis, Dean Schmit
Undergraduate Research Symposium 2022
This presentation examines gendered differences in how Minnesotan farmers attempted to maintain control over their lives during the 1980s farm crisis. Although left-wing activism, rightwing activism, religion, and suicide may seem like disparate responses, they all came from the same impulse to maintain control. These responses were highly influenced by community values, particularly the ideas that hard work would be rewarded and men should not show their emotions. Religion offered a sense of community and solace to farmers; activism – although a relatively rare response – offered solutions; and suicide offered an escape. Women found more comfort in religion than …

“Madam” Elizabeth: Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley’S Sisyphean Attempt To Join The “Cult Of True Womanhood”, Bella Biancone
“Madam” Elizabeth: Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley’S Sisyphean Attempt To Join The “Cult Of True Womanhood”, Bella Biancone
Undergraduate Research and Scholarship Symposium
Nineteenth century notions of femininity and etiquette were governed by strict societal standards. “True Womanhood” was defined by four fundamental virtues– piety, purity, submissiveness, and domesticity. However, there was another pre-requisite for joining this revered cult¬: whiteness. No matter how pious or domestic a woman of color was, she could never hope to be considered a proper lady by Victorian standards. In discerning what it meant to be a member of that “cult of True Womanhood,” Black women were used to determine the boundaries of white womanhood; a “True Woman” was to be the antithesis of the stereotypical sexual and …

“Mecca For The Colored People”: Reexamining The Demolition Of Pittsburgh’S Lower Hill District, Avishek Acharya
Undergraduate Research and Scholarship Symposium
The Hill District of Pittsburgh is a neighborhood of national importance, having hosted jazz legends, nationally renowned newspapers, and artists. However, the Hill of today is much smaller than it has ever been; the destruction of the Lower Hill effectively separated the neighborhood from not only another part of the previously collectively one singular neighborhood but separated the neighborhood and its residents from the economic hubs in both down and uptown. The wholesale destruction of the Lower Hill District can be attributed to both the national trend of “urban renewal,” a series of misguided, often explicitly racist attempts to undo …
Title Ix: An Analysis Of Its Effects On Collegiate Athletics, Hanna Laube
Title Ix: An Analysis Of Its Effects On Collegiate Athletics, Hanna Laube
Honors Projects
Title IX has had a monumental impact on the development of women’s opportunities in sports. I conducted three interviews with women athletes who competed in college from 1967-71, 1995-99, and 2009-2014. I also analyzed some primary research on how female athletes remember Title IX and some secondary research on remembering Title IX. In the interviews I found that all the athletes were very appreciative of Title IX, but did not know much about it and therefore could not think very critically about it. In contrast, scholars were very critical of Title IX and pointed out the shortcomings in the law. …

"Not A Single Battle But Rather A Real War": The Fight To Equalize Teachers' Salaries In Florida In The 1930s And 1940s, Caroline Emmons
Florida Historical Quarterly
Segregation had many faces in th South prior to the 1960s, but perhaps most familiar were the separate school systems for black and white children. The 1954 Brown v. the Board of Education decision, the landmark ruling that prohibited segregated schools, galvanized the civil rights movement and signaled the end of the South's racial caste system. Before the Brown fight was engaged or even fully conceived, however, efforts to equalize black and white teacher's salarie in the South laid the groundwork for a direct attack on school segregation. Florida was at the center of the pay equity battle. Between the …
