Excerpt:

Florida, however, is of particular interest to this book because this is where it all happens! History demonstrates how the state is an integral part of the story of the Black man in America, including those in Oklahoma. Florida was initially established by Spain’s Ponce De Leon in 1513 and owned by Spain until 1831 when it was purchased by the United States for a sum of $5 million. This is essential because up until then, Spain would offer freedom to ex-slaves from the Southern colonies who made it to Florida. This was made possible by King Charles of Spain’s emancipation proclamation, the Edict of 1693. As a result, Blacks escaping slavery in Georgia and the Carolinas would flee to Spanish Florida (Smith, 2018).

In exchange for their freedom, the escaped Blacks agreed to convert to Catholicism and fight for the militia. Spain sold Florida after General Andrew Jackson had invaded it in his Indian Removal efforts. Jackson sought to clear every Native and escaped Black out of Florida by any means necessary. This encroachment led to the three Seminole Wars (1817–18, 1835–42, 1855–58).

Prior to the Jackson onslaught, Fort Mose (or Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose), nearby St. Augustine, and Negro Fort were all early American freedom or maroon colonies. They featured free Blacks, Natives and whites. Increasingly, Florida was more attractive to fugitive slaves as well as various Indigenous peoples collectively referred to as Seminoles (a derivative of the Spanish word cimarrones and used to describe fleeing Natives).

Unfortunately for these peoples, this land was also attractive to white settlers. These whites, some of whom had slaves, were clearly uncomfortable living near free armed Blacks. It is not difficult to understand what unfolded in the years to come. Blacks were fleeing to Florida. Native Americans were being pushed out of colonial areas and consequently moved to Florida. And then came the white settlers. And that’s when the insidious bravado of Gen. Jackson was on full display. He was America’s white knight.

It was fascinating to learn that Florida, the same state where George Zimmerman stalked and killed Trayvon Martin and who hid behind the “Stand Your Ground Law” in 2012, was also the site of such key developments in early America involving Blacks. These events ultimately helped shape the destiny of this country. Learning about this history gave me a new favorable perspective on Florida. Initially, after the Zimmerman trial, I swore to never go to Florida again.
