Focus Questions:

(1)   Who are the authors?  Susan Richbourg Parker and William Coker

 

 

(5) Identify and discuss the issue of “perspective” with regards to Anglo writings of Spanish Government

The perspective of the Anglo writing of the Spanish Government as “the inevitable result of the defective character of the Spaniards themselves”. Meaning they were disrespected and not cared for by their own government and gave no support to them. To be honest, I believe that if my government didn’t like or respect or care about me, why would I want to be a citizen of their society.

 

(2)   How did Spain cede one territory and receive two back twenty years later?

The Spanish ceded Florida to get Louisiana and Cuba. They did this is the most strategic way and used it as leverage for more trades in the future.

 

 

(5) Describe the two territories, their locations, capitols, and industry & resources

Cuba had a lot of activity going on because of the ports delivering food to East Florida. Cuba is just south of Florida and was a good investment for the Spaniards. Cuba shipped coffee rum sugar win and tableware all to USA

Even though the French bought Lousianna after, Spanish still protected it. Baton Rouge is the capitol. They used the port systems to get their industry and resources in check

(8)What are some of the turning points for the rapid turnover of FL (Spanish/British/Spanish/U.S.)

Some turning points for rapid turnover of Florida were the French and Indian Wars because it led to the Peace treaty in Paris. With the Spanish trying to resolve these issues, they didn’t help the British against the Americans, leading into the defeat of the British and after 21 years of the British interregnum, the Spanish got back what the British took from them.

 

 

 

(5) Present evidence of Political, Social, and Economic influence/affects in Chapter 10

Some political effects were Andrew Jackson incursions in West Florida and Gregor MacGregor in East Florida mirroring the rebellions, revolutions, and violations of sovereign territories in the Americas. Some Social influences was seeing the formal transfer of flags that took place in Pensacola from the Spanish flag to the US flag. Some economic influences are selling parcels to the public or either making them unavailable for settlement or unacceptably expensive. Equally important was the destruction of smaller farms, houses, barns, music, food, rifles and other miscellaneous things.

 

 

 

 

 

(2)What do you find most interesting about this article?

 

Most interesting thing I learned about this article was that the Spanish had to leave their house twice, once to leave from the British attacks and then they came back yet to live for another generation or so then give raise the American flag on their land.
