  • The Failed French Colony at Fort Caroline As a Site of Local Conflict Within a Transimperial System
    “People of bad disposition”: The Failed French Colony at Fort Caroline as a Site of Local Conflict within a Transimperial System DANIEL VITKUS As the work of Frank Lestringant has amply demonstrated, the efforts of the French to estaBlish American colonies in Florida and Brazil during the 1550s and 1560s were closely connected to the factional and sectarian strife that was taking place in the French homeland at the same time.1 During the Religious Wars of the sixteenth century, a series of virulent conflicts and cruel persecutions played out in French society, But these Brutal events were generated from within a Broader matrix that stretched from Paris to Florida and Beyond. The civil wars in France were not only domestic in nature—they were linked to geopolitical pressures and imperial rivalries. And the Religious Wars in France were not only civil wars—they were part of the widespread ideological and political tumult that followed in the wake of the transnational Reformation, rippling out from Germany. 2 That implosion and splintering of Western Christendom generated an instaBility that shaped colonial and imperial rivalries and gave those rivalries an added viciousness. The distance is not so far from the ink spilled By Martin Luther in Germany to the French Protestant Blood spilled at Matanzas Bay and La Caroline. It may Be useful to think of the events at Fort Caroline in Florida, and the nasty, Brutish, and short history of the French colony there, not in terms of a French national or imperial history, not in terms of Florida history, But rather as a small episode in a swirling pattern of gloBal aggression that Burst forth from Western Europe and spread its violent commerce from Paris, London, LisBon, and Madrid to Mexico, Peru, India, and beyond.3 I am suggesting that here we should think gloBally even as we act locally in reading the textual and archeological traces left By the French on the Banks of the St.
