Snyder THE FLORIDA, ATLANTIC AND GULF CENTRAL RAILROAD, 1851-1868 by C ANTER B ROWN , J R . HE role of the Florida, Atlantic and Gulf Central Railroad T (FA&GC) in Florida’s development and politics, during the period beginning with the line’s incorporation in 1851 and lasting until its initial forced sale in 1868, was substantial and contro- versial. While the sixty-mile line was smaller than either the Pen- sacola and Georgia Railroad (P&G) or the Florida Railroad (FRR), its eastern terminus was Jacksonville which, only a village in 1851, rapidly developed into the principal port on Florida’s Atlantic coast. Equally propitious, its western end lay at Lake City on the edge of Florida’s rich plantation belt. The FRR’s ter- minus at Fernandina could not compare in potential to Jackson- ville, and the P&G needed access to the latter port for the trans- shipment of cotton and other goods. Knowledge of the roles of law and of public agencies as they impacted on Florida’s railroads and, specifically, the FA&GC is slight. Sources for the history of Florida’s railroads contain ref- erences to the passage of laws, court decisions, and administrative actions; they do little, however, to analyze or explain the dynamics and implications of those actions. An examination of the experience of the FA&GC offers a glimpse of those forces at play and casts light upon processes, events, and personalities key to any understanding of nineteenth-century Florida. By the mid-1800s Florida’s success at railroad building had been minimal. Though several lines had been projected, a dearth of capital, sparse settlement, and a lack of governmental support had combined to postpone construction. In 1850, only a single road in the state could be judged a success. That line, which ran Canter Brown, Jr., is a doctoral student, Department of History, University of Florida.

[411] 412 F LORIDA H ISTORICAL Q UARTERLY the twenty-three miles from Tallahassee to the Gulf port of St. Marks, was remote from the increasingly populous areas of the state and offered no possibility of a vital Atlantic Ocean-Gulf of Mexico connection.1 Such an Atlantic-Gulf railroad link was a subject of consider- able interest to Floridians in the 1840s. Following statehood in 1845 that interest was expressed in a growing sentiment for legis- lative action to spur the construction of a transpeninsular line. United States Senator David Levy Yulee was the first to capitalize on the plan when, in 1849, he secured incorporation of the At- lantic and Gulf Railroad. Yulee’s success was not hailed by everyone, and it quickly provoked others to action.2 Although Yulee in 1849 was Florida’s most powerful Demo- crat, the elections of 1848 resulted in control of the state legisla- ture by Whigs and the election of Thomas Brown, a Whig, as governor.3 One center of Whig strength in the state was Jackson- ville. Among its leaders were individuals determined that, if an Atlantic to Gulf railroad were to be built, it should be controlled by themselves and their allies. They also believed that the line’s eastern terminus should be Jacksonville.4 Plans for a Jacksonville-based railroad developed slowly, and before they could be presented to the legislature elections in Oc- tober 1850 resulted in Democratic control of that body by a nar- row majority. Governor Brown remained in office, however, and opened the legislative session in November with a call for an overall state system of railroads and a board of internal improvement dominated by Whiggish public officials and ap- pointees. Had that action not gotten the assembly’s attention, Brown’s next action certainly did. He vetoed a Yulee-backed bill aimed at increasing the capitalization and powers of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad. His message of support for a Jacksonville- based, Whig-controlled line was clear. Within two weeks after the veto, the legislature passed and the governor signed the char- ter of the Florida, Atlantic and Gulf Central Railroad.5 1. George W.

Goldsmith Department of History Duke University Date:_______________________ Approved: ___________________________ Nancy MacLean, Supervisor ___________________________ Edward J.

Goldsmith 2018 Abstract This dissertation shows how an array of policymakers, invested in uprooting an unequal political economy descended from the plantation system and Jim Crow, gravitated to education as a centerpiece of development strategy, and why so many are still disappointed in its outcomes. By looking at state-wide policymaking in North Carolina and policy effects in the state’s black belt counties, this study shows why the civil rights movement was vital for shifting state policy in former Jim Crow states towards greater investment in human resources. By breaking down employment barriers to African Americans and opening up the South to new people and ideas, the civil rights movement fostered a new climate for economic policymaking, and a new ecosystem of organizations flourished to promote equitable growth.

  • The Everglades: Wetlands Not Wastelands Marjory Stoneman Douglas Overcoming the Barriers of Public Unawareness and the Profit Motive in South Florida
    The Everglades: Wetlands not Wastelands Marjory Stoneman Douglas Overcoming the Barriers of Public Unawareness and the Profit Motive in South Florida Manav Bansal Senior Division Historical Paper Paper Length: 2,496 Bansal 1 "Marjory was the first voice to really wake a lot of us up to what we were doing to our quality of life. She was not just a pioneer of the environmental movement, she was a prophet, calling out to us to save the environment for our children and our grandchildren."1 - Florida Governor Lawton Chiles, 1991-1998 ​ Introduction Marjory Stoneman Douglas was a vanguard in her ideas and approach to preserve the Florida Everglades. She not only convinced society that Florida’s wetlands were not wastelands, but also educated politicians that its value transcended profit. From the late 1800s, attempts were underway to drain large parts of the Everglades for economic gain.2 However, from the mid to late 20th century, Marjory Stoneman Douglas fought endlessly to bring widespread attention to the deteriorating Everglades and increase public awareness regarding its importance. To achieve this goal, Douglas broke societal, political, and economic barriers, all of which stemmed from the lack of familiarity with environmental conservation, apathy, and the near-sighted desire for immediate profit without consideration for the long-term impacts on Florida’s ecosystem. Using her voice as a catalyst for change, she fought to protect the Everglades from urban development and draining, two actions which would greatly impact the surrounding environment, wildlife, and ultimately help mitigate the effects of climate change. By educating the public and politicians, she served as a model for a new wave of environmental activism and she paved the way for the modern environmental movement.

    1 CENTER FOR FLORIDA HISTORY ORAL HISTORY PROGRAM INTERVIEW WITH: HOMER HOOKS INTERVIEWER: JAMES M. DENHAM PLACE: LAKELAND, FLORIDA DATE: JULY 29, 2003 M= JAMES M. DENHAM (Mike) H= HOMER HOOKS M: Today we are interviewing Mr. Homer Hooks and we are going to talk today about the legacy of Lawton Chiles and hopefully follow this up with future discussions of Mr. Hooks’ business career and career in politics. Good morning Mr. Hooks. H: Good morning, Mike. M: As I mentioned, we, really, in the future want to talk about your service in World War II and also your business career, but today we would like to focus on your memories of Lawton Chiles. Even so, can you tell us a little bit about where you were born as well as giving us a brief biographical sketch? H: Yes, Mike. I was born in Columbia, South Carolina, on January 10, 1921. My family moved to Lake County actually in Florida when I was a child. I was 4 or 5 years old, I guess. We lived in Clermont in south Lake County. My grandfather was a pioneer. He platted the town of Clermont. The rest of the family also lived north of Clermont in the Leesburg area, but we considered ourselves pioneer Florida residents. Those were the days in 1926, ‘27 and ‘28 days and so forth. I grew up in Clermont - grammar school and high school and then immediately went to the University of Florida in 1939 and graduated in 1943, as some people have said, when the earth’s crust was still cooling, so long ago.

    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.
