Brief Political History of Florida

- This video looks at the history of Florida. It begins with the original native inhabitants, continues with Spanish colonization and why Spain always had brittle control over the territory. It then looks at why it became a British colony first and then an American State. It continues to look at the reasons it seceded and joined the confederacy and how its main economic developments from tourism to defense to retirees have occurred.
Florida going from uninhabitable to one of the most populated is quite a story arc.
As someone from Florida and who loves it, this video makes me happy to see. Fingers crossed for a geographic video in the future
What a fantastic video, beautifully illustrated, and wonderfully narrated, thank you so much!
Thanks for the comment. Made my day.
@ The pleasure is mine brother, my family and I moved here recently from New York, and I'm getting an education, never having been to the state of Florida before December 2021 actually....
I think you did a very good job here.
Nice video! Florida is a very interesting state
Thanks for the video man 🤝
How doesn't your channel have 100s of thousands of subscribers. This is great content.
Thank you Joachim. I appreciate the kind words.
Hurricane Ian is now the most damaging hurricane in Florida history
That’s very unfortunate.
19:50 and no one stormed the capitol btw. I CAN'T stress that enough 😅
Gonna start a series on the american states? if so Texas is the obligatory next video
I did Florida because of its Caribbean connection. I don't know that I will do all of the American States, but I'll definitely do Texas at some point. Probably not the next one though. I owe people a few others.
@ Definitely Texas please. Afterwards, maybe a California?
@@valour4494 I'm going to do all the border states. California and Texas are definitely in the queue. I can't give you an exact timeline though. As of right now, it's probably about 5 videos away (Texas is, I mean).
My home state.
How you gonna talk about Florida without Plant!!! Howard b plant MADE I4! He started the cigar industry in Tampa because he drained Tampa Bay and made the railway connect all the way to NY

Also, I know this was made a year ago, but crazy how quickly things change huh? Now America sees that Florida is solidly red
They definitely do. I don't know yet if Florida is Missouri in 2004 or Pennsylvania in 2016. I think one could make an argument for both.
@ you're absolutely right, it could be temporary based on backlash against Biden or Pro DeSantis, and this could have apparate within the next decade and a half or so, or it could be long term. Bo way of knowing for sure, but I'll put my money on Florida staying read for a while, just because of how many people came to Florida specifically because of DeSantis right wing governance, keeping Florida relatively unlocked during the pandemic. Everyone was worried about the 22 election because of how many transplants were coming, but it seems like majority of them came for political reasons, and as a republican Florida native this makes my heart feel good
It could very well be that way.

No, Florida natives were not sold into slavery by the Spanish...I grew up in St. Augustine, am a historian.
The video says “many of those who remained were sold into slavery”. This refers to the slave raids of the early 1700s which brought the natives to English colonists not to the Spanish Crown doing so. Sorry for the confusion.
@Thank you for the correction, but I am not sure you are correct. In the early 1700s the Georgia colony was not yet founded, and Charlestown was still a back water with a small population. I would argue that almost zero Florida natives were ever enslaved by Europeans. There was simply no need for it. The English/American plantation system, by the time it came in force to the Carolinas it was well known that natives made poor slaves, it is why the transatlantic slave trade happened. Florida was a haven for escaped African slaves, as well as natives that didn't want to go to Oklahoma, thus creating the Seminoles. Florida had very little to do with slavery, for almost 400 years the population of Europeans never went above a few thousand. The original natives, like the Timucua, died off almost exclusively due to disease.
It definitely happened. Although it's an understudied part of history. You can read about it below starting in pg. 3.
"In the end, the Calusa and other South Florida Indians were not brought to their knees by Spanish colonization or the spread of European plagues, but rather by the juggernaut of the Indian slave trade, originating in the English colonies to the north."

@MarkMcAllister-ni9sf
white people bad. including white adjacent people (spanish)
My teacher made me watch this bs
Why do you say this is BS?
@ Probably because he's in high school and, like math, history tends to be one of those subjects students don't like. I, however, loved this video.
Aboriginal blacks so stop the lies bro... 😭🤣
Not sure what you’re trying to say.
