F OSTER , J R ., AND S ARAH W HITMER F OSTER URING Reconstruction, many northern men and women D contributed to Florida’s social, political, and economic life. Their efforts—and those of the northern institutions and organi- zations that supported them—provided immediate assistance to the needy and resulted, as well, in the establishment of churches, schools, and other institutions that endured the test of time. Nonetheless, most Floridians have gained only a one-dimen- sional understanding of the contributions of Northerners during Reconstruction, usually through the highly critical eyes of histo- rians such as William Watson Davis. Of them, Davis, a disciple of Columbia University’s Dunning School of Reconstruction his- toriography, wrote: “The failure of the Republican government was . incident to the operations of a lot of self-seeking, reckless, shrewd, and grafting politicians, who were in local politics for all they could squeeze out of it, who controlled, by fair means or foul, the ignorant and often vicious negro majorities and therefore controlled the government and therefore the public purse-strings.“1 Within the past two decades, a number of revisionist histo- rians have examined Davis’s assessment. Most notably, Jerrell H. Shofner’s work, Nor Is It Over Yet: Florida in the Era of Reconstruc- tion, 1863-1877, has reviewed the complicated nature of the Re- construction era and described the good intentions of Northern- ers such as Governor Harrison Reed.2 Others have begun to note John T. Foster, Jr., is associate professor of anthropology, Florida Agricul- tural and Mechanical University. Sarah Whitmer Foster is associate profes- sor of anthropology and human services, Florida Agricultural and Mechan- ical University. 1.

[265] 266 F LORIDA H ISTORICAL Q UARTERLY the significant contributions of blacks to the period and to analyze the destructive impact of Democratic Redemption upon substan- tive Republican initiatives.3 The lives and work of Northerners of the period, though, remain a territory largely unexplored. Insight as to the contributions of Northerners may be glimpsed from an examination of the Florida work of the Methodist Episcopal Church, often called the northern Methodist Church. Based upon church policy promulgated dur- ing and soon after the Civil War, Methodist ministers from the North involved themselves in every aspect of Reconstruction life—religion, education, civil rights, economic development, and politics. From a base in Jacksonville, these individuals—principal among them the Reverend John Sanford Swaim—achieved im- portant successes and exerted a lasting influence beyond that justified by their small numbers. The Methodist Episcopal Church—as opposed to the separate Methodist Episcopal Church, South—supported the Federal gov- ernment during the Civil War, and, as the struggle continued, it increasingly became “political.” By the war’s end, the church was a powerful force in national affairs. It was the nation’s “largest and wealthiest denomination,” and it published numer- ous newspapers and magazines, among them the New York Chris- tian Advocate and the Methodist Quarterly Review. 4 At the com- mencement of its publication, the Christian Advocate had “the largest circulation of any weekly newspaper in the world.“5 Exer- cising its influence during the early years of Reconstruction, the church endorsed the Radical Congressional leadership and sought the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson. Its bishops championed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth amendments to the United States Constitution.6 3. As to blacks, see Joe M.

    SECTION 3 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.1 SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS This section details socio-economic conditions including population, housing, employment, and income characteristics. 3.1.1 Population Characteristics The study area for the Florida High Speed Rail (FHSR) project extends from downtown Tampa in Hillsborough County (Corridor A), through Polk and Osceola counties, and terminates in the city of Orlando in Orange County (Corridor E) (Section 2, Figure 2-1). The counties in this central Florida region are experiencing tremendous growth and are projected to continue this growth pattern in the short-term and long-term future. In each county, a majority of the population resides in unincorporated regions and this trend is projected to continue into the short- term and long-term future. Table 3-1 illustrates county population growth that occurred between the years 1980, 1990, and 2000; population projections for the years 2010 and 2020; and the population percentage change by county and state between the years 1980-1990, 1990-2000, and 2000-2020.
