THE ATLANTIC MIND: ZEPHANIAH KINGSLEY, SLAVERY, AND THE POLITICS OF RACE IN THE ATLANTIC WORLD by MARK J. FLESZAR Under the Direction of Dr. Jared Poley and Dr. H. Robert Baker ABSTRACT Enlightenment philosophers had long feared the effects of crisscrossing boundaries, both real and imagined. Such fears were based on what they considered a brutal ocean space frequented by protean shape-shifters with a dogma of ruthless exploitation and profit. This intellectual study outlines the formation and fragmentation of a fluctuating worldview as experienced through the circum-Atlantic life and travels of merchant, slaveowner, and slave trader Zephaniah Kingsley during the Era of Revolution. It argues that the process began from experiencing the costs of loyalty to the idea of the British Crown and was tempered by the pervasiveness of violence, mobility, anxiety, and adaptation found in the booming Atlantic markets of the Caribbean during the Haitian Revolution. -

COVER Two eastbound trains and passengers appear to be waiting at the Archer depot for a westbound train from Gainesville, ca. 1910. The wood-burning freight on the right has arrived from Cedar Key, while the coal-burning train on the left has come from the south. The line on the right is the original “Florida Railroad” built by Senator David Levy Yulee’s company. Originating in Fernandina, the line had reached Archer by 1859, and was completed to its terminus at Cedar Key in 1861. The line on the left was built to haul phosphate from the mines in the area and other freight. It eventually went all the way to Tampa. From the collection of Herbert J. Doherty, Jr. Gainesville.

BOYD, JR.* and RANDALL REDER** To a certain extent, the development of Florida'smodern ju- dicial processes and institutions can be understood by looking closely at the history of the individuals who have served on the state's foremost judicial body, the Florida Supreme Court. Un- fortunately, many of the historical insights and anecdotes con- cerning the justices have been lost or are scattered over many different sources. This article pulls together many of these scattered materials and presents an insider's look into the lives and aspirationsof the men who have served and shaped Flor- ida's Supreme Court. I.

William P. Anderson and 'The May Letters" 175
W1LLIAM P. ANDERSON AND "THE MAY LETTERS" BY PATRICIA GIVI•S JOHNSON • Camp Springs, Ma•land The 1828 Presidential election campaign, when Andrew Jackson ran against John Quincy Adams, was one of the most acrid ever to convulse the electorate. The most controversial man yet nominated for the Presi- dency, Jackson had lived such a checkered life it was not difficult for the Adams faction to fuel their fires. Jackson was accused of everything from wife-stealing to murder. For a man who had feuded and quarreled over these issues all his adult life, these accusations were not new nor unexpected. Besides, though there was much talk, most of the oppo- sition's accusations could not be proven. The Arbuthnot and Ambrister executions in Florida were viewed by the common people as necessary actions of a military commander in wartime. Rachel Jackson's pure character and the Jacksons' abiding love in a good marriage had laid to rest the old marriage slanders. In a time when dueling was respectable and still practiced, the Charles Dickinson Duel was viewed by most voters as a matter of honor. However, there had been whispers about that duel and how honor- able Jackson had really been. The Whigs believed if the whispers could be proven they would have found their opponent's Achilles heel. But they needed some proof that Jackson had acted dishonorably in the duel which cost Dickinson his life. This proof was forthcoming when a Tennessee Whig, William P. Anderson of Nashville, formerly Jackson's friend, stepped forward with letters which indicated Jackson had acted dishonorably in the duel. -
