Book Synopsis Ossian Bingley Hart, Florida’s Loyalist Reconstruction Governor by : Canter Brown, Jr.
Download or read book Ossian Bingley Hart, Florida’s Loyalist Reconstruction Governor written by Canter Brown, Jr. and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1997-07-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exceptional biography, Canter Brown, Jr., removes Ossian Bingley Hart (1821–1874)—a Unionist, the principal founder of the Republican Party in Florida, and a Reconstruction-era governor of the state—from the shadows of history. Through an examination of Hart’s life and career, Brown offers new insight into the political problems of the day—the role of Unionism in Deep South politics in particular—and enriches our understanding of the complexities of Reconstruction. Brown traces Hart’s life from his privileged childhood in the newly founded port town of Jacksonville through his service as a volunteer soldier in the Second Seminole War, his education in South Carolina, and the dawn of his legal and political career on Florida’s Atlantic frontier to his election as governor in 1872 and his premature death sixteen months later. Brown’s multifaceted biography offers a rare glimpse at the persistence of Loyalism in the post-Civil War South and clearly illustrates the pivotal role played by both Loyalists and African Americans in southern politics of that era and how these two groups merged to resist carpetbag rule.

Book Synopsis The Last Days of British Saint Augustine, 1784-1785 by : Lawrence H. Feldman
Download or read book The Last Days of British Saint Augustine, 1784-1785 written by Lawrence H. Feldman and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 1998 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The census of 1790, the first official enumeration of all heads of household residing in the infant republic, is the most important source concerning ordinary citizens at following the ratification of the Constitution. The original 1790 enumerations which have withstood the passage of time cover the present states of Connecticut, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Vermont. In each of the published census volumes the schedules are arranged by county and in some cases by minor subdivisions of counties, thus enabling the researcher to narrow his field of research to a particular judicial district. Each volume is separately indexed, so the researcher has only a single alphabet to consult for each state. Heads of families, arranged in alphabetical order under each county and district, are listed with the following information after each name: Number of free white males of sixteen years and upward; number of free white males under sixteen years; number of free white females; number of all other free persons; number of slaves. The 1790 federal census for North Carolina identifies a population of ______ persons.

Book Synopsis A Southern Underground Railroad by : Paul M. Pressly
Download or read book A Southern Underground Railroad written by Paul M. Pressly and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2024-08 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its apparent isolation as an older region of the country, the Southeast provided a vital connecting link between the Black self-emancipation that occurred during the American Revolution and the growth of the Underground Railroad in the final years of the antebellum period. From the beginning of the revolutionary war to the eve of the First Seminole War in 1817, hundreds and eventually several thousand Africans and African Americans in Georgia, and to a lesser extent South Carolina, crossed the borders and boundaries that separated the Lowcountry from the British and Spanish in coastal Florida and from the Seminole and Creek people in the vast interior of the Southeast. Even in times of peace, there remained a steady flow of individuals moving south and southwest, reflecting the aspirations of a captive people. A Southern Underground Railroad constitutes a powerful counter-narrative in American history, a tale of how enslaved men and women found freedom and human dignity not in Jefferson’s “Empire of Liberty” but outside the expanding boundaries of the United States. It is a potent reminder of the strength of Black resistance in the post-revolutionary South and the ability of this community to influence the balance of power in a contested region. Paul M. Pressly’s research shows that their movement across borders was an integral part of the sustained struggle for dominance in the Southeast not only among the Great Powers but also among the many different racial, ethnic, and religious groups that inhabited the region and contended for control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the teeming frontier wilderness of northeast Florida, the Fountain of Youth chronicles the continuing saga of the Ribault family. Investing each generation with its own identity as historical events both factual and metaphysical unfold, one idea survives: to discover the mythic fountain of youth. More than Montezumas treasure or El Dorado, this secluded hideaway had become a holy grail for the Ribaults.

Book Synopsis Raising Cane in the 'Glades by : Gail M. Hollander
Download or read book Raising Cane in the 'Glades written by Gail M. Hollander and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-11-15 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last century, the Everglades underwent a metaphorical and ecological transition from impenetrable swamp to endangered wetland. At the heart of this transformation lies the Florida sugar industry, which by the 1990s was at the center of the political storm over the multi-billion dollar ecological “restoration” of the Everglades. Raising Cane in the ’Glades is the first study to situate the environmental transformation of the Everglades within the economic and historical geography of global sugar production and trade. Using, among other sources, interviews, government and corporate documents, and recently declassified U.S. State Department memoranda, Gail M. Hollander demonstrates that the development of Florida’s sugar region was the outcome of pitched battles reaching the highest political offices in the U.S. and in countries around the world, especially Cuba—which emerges in her narrative as a model, a competitor, and the regional “other” to Florida’s “self.” Spanning the period from the age of empire to the era of globalization, the book shows how the “sugar question”—a label nineteenth-century economists coined for intense international debates on sugar production and trade—emerges repeatedly in new guises. Hollander uses the sugar question as a thread to stitch together past and present, local and global, in explaining Everglades transformation.
