Alliances were formed, and sides were taken. Often the struggle for Robert Kapitzke is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Religious Studies, Indiana University. A grant from the Spain-Florida Alliance pro- vided funding for research in Seville. The author wishes to thank the Spain-Florida Alliance—particularly Samuel Proctor and Doña Carmen Cantos—and Bruce Chappell at the P. K. Yonge Library of Florida History. 1. The secular clergy comprise parish, or diocesan, priests and other mem- bers of the clergy not restricted by the vows or rules of a religious order. They are called secular because they live “in the world” (saeculum), as opposed to regular clergy—Franciscans, Dominicans, Jesuits, and other orders—who live by rule (regula). In St. Augustine secular clergy served as parish priests and were charged with pastoral care of the town’s inhabit- ants and organization of its Catholic life. 2. A few of the more recent studies include: Amy Bushnell, The King’s Coffer: Proprietors of the Spanish Florida Treasury, 1565-1702 (Gainesville, 1981); Kathleen Deagan, “Spanish St. Augustine: America’s First Melting Pot,” Archaeology (September 1980), 22-30; Deagan, “St. Augustine: First Urban Enclave in the United States,” North American Archaeologist 3 (1982), 183- 205. Also, although he does not deal primarily with St. Augustine, John H. Hann’s Apalachee: The Land Between the Rivers (Gainesville, 1988) offers a look at the Franciscan mission system that concentrates on the Franciscan- Native American relationship rather than the Franciscan-governor re- lationship. [1] Published by STARS, 1993 7 Florida Historical Quarterly, Vol. 72 [1993], No. 1, Art. 1 2 F LORIDA H ISTORICAL Q UARTERLY power took place not between opposing institutions but between individuals. These conflicts in turn had a profound effect on St. Augustine, as personal feuds escalated and engulfed the wider community. These social dynamics can be viewed in the feud that occurred between Father Juan Joseph Solana and Governor Palacio y Valenzuela during the waning years of the First Spanish Period. In January 1754 there were two secular priests serving in St. Augustine: Juan de Paredes and an elderly organist, Buenaven- tura de Ortega. These two were soon joined by Juan Joseph Solana who returned to St. Augustine after a four-year stay in Havana. All three clergymen had labored in Florida for a con- siderable number of years; both Solana and Ortega had served as priests since 1724, Paredes since 1728.

Florida was a state for just sixteen years before secession set it apart from the rest of the Union, but Florida’s road to secession was as unique as any of its southern counterparts. From the territorial days in the early nineteenth century, Florida’s political culture centered on the development and protection of slavery throughout the state.
