(I) INTRODUCTION The action generally known as the Dade Massacre is an event which cannot be adequately understood if viewed by itself, since it was but one aspect of an explosion occurring in the winter of 1835-1836 which rocked the Territory of Florida. The explosion was the culmination of the mounting tension between the whites on the one hand, and red and black on the other, whose origins antedated the acquisition of Florida by the United States. This crisis must be viewed in the perspective of, and against the back- ground formed by the forces from which it developed. It is at- tempted here to sketch this background in a detached manner, though limitations of space preclude presentation in detail. The tale is a narrative of harshness, with many sordid aspects. In view of the pressure of settlers for lands, the solution of the problem through emigration of the Indians was probably the best which could be devised, and it is to be regretted that the advantages of removal were not more patiently and attractively presented to the Indians before a determination to resist removal arose among them. When this sentiment had crystalized, the climax was the wholly natural reaction of a simple, bewildered, wronged and liberty-loving people; who, subjected to inexorable pressure, saw no other dignified solution or avenue of relief. The ______________ * The Quarterly is grateful to the Florida State Board of Parks and His- toric Memorials for assistance in the cost of publication of this article. 4 FLORIDA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY outburst itself consisted of four major sanguinary events of nearly simultaneous occurrence and, as is so often the case, many of those who felt its impact had little if any responsibility for its production. (II) THE SEMINOLES OF FLORIDA The original Indian population of Florida, with the possible exception of the Calos or Caloosa, was largely if not altogether eradicated by the English instigated Creek raids during Queen Anne’s War, 1701-1714 (see Boyd, Smith and Griffin, post. Sources), although evidently in decline prior to this time as a consequence of epidemic infections acquired from white sources. While the raids resulted in much loss of life, depopulation was more thoroughly effected through the enforced evacuation of the survivors. These were relocated by the English on lands in and adjacent to the Province of Carolina. The English, how- ever, became increasingly oppressive and high-handed in their dealings with these captives and their earlier allies. Indian re- sentment found expression in a widespread compact among the tribes, which had as its objective the expulsion of the English. The resulting brief struggle known as the Yamassee War oc- curred in 1715. It nearly attained the desired result, but suddenly collapsed owing to the defection of the Cherokees. The defeated Indians scattered from the vicinity of Carolina, most Yamassees returning to Florida, but others, including the Creeks, returned to the old dwelling sites on the banks of the Chattahoochee river. Here they were sought out by English, French and Spanish emissaries, the former not to inflict chastisement, but to compete with the others for Indian support in an anticipated continuation of intercolonial strife. While the Spaniards found adherents in certain factions, others, probably finding English trade or pres- ents more satisfactory, sided with the latter. The Spaniards en- couraged their partisans to return to Florida and repopulate Apalachee. While successful in inducing several bands from the SEMINOLES OF FLORIDA 5 Chattahoochee river villages to make this move, the numbers were insufficient to repopulate the region as it once had been. The meager references to these bands make their ultimate fate uncertain, nor do they appear to have contributed significantly, if at all, to the final Indian repopulation of Florida. In 1767 only one town, Talahassa or Tonaby’s town, was located in ancient Apalachee. (Gauld-Pittman map). The Stuart-Purcell map also speaks of several other small villages, dependencies either of this or Mikasuky. By the time of the cession of Florida to Great Britain in 1763, certain Indian bands were established in the upper part of the peninsula, who were referred to as Seminoles (Semenolas, Simi- noles, Seminolies, Seminolys). The word is said to be derived from the Muskogee Ishti Semoli (Brinton), variously rendered as meaning separatist, runaway or vagabond.

Smith 2 To my mother, who generated my fascination for all things historical 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Jon Sensbach and Jessica Harland-Jacobs for their patience and edification throughout the entire writing process. I would also like to thank Ida Altman, Jack Davis, and Richmond Brown for holding my feet to the path and making me a better historian. I owe a special debt to Jim Cusack, John Nemmers, and the rest of the staff at the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History and Special Collections at the University of Florida for introducing me to this topic and allowing me the freedom to haunt their facilities and guide me through so many stages of my research. I would be sorely remiss if I did not thank Steve Noll for his efforts in promoting the University of Florida’s history honors program, Phi Alpha Theta; without which I may never have met Jim Cusick. Most recently I have been humbled by the outpouring of appreciation and friendship from the wonderful people of St. Augustine, Florida, particularly the National Association of Colonial Dames, the ladies of the Women’s Exchange, and my colleagues at the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Museum and the First America Foundation, who have all become cherished advocates of this project.

  • An Ambivalent Ground: Re-Placing Australian Literature
    An Ambivalent Ground: Re-placing Australian Literature James Paull A Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of New South Wales 2007 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: PAULL First name: JAMES Other name/s: CAMPBELL Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: English, Media and Performing Arts Faculty: Arts Title: An Ambivalent Ground: Re-placing Australian Literature Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Narratives of place have always been crucial to the construction of Australian identity. The obsession with identity in Australia betrays longstanding uncertainty. It is not difficult to interpret in this uncertainty a replaying of the deeper insecurities surrounding the settler community's legal and more broadly cultural claims to the land. Such insecurities are typically understood negatively. In contrast, this thesis accepts the uncertainty of identity as an activating principle, appropriate to any interpretation of the narratives and themes that inform what it means to be Australian. Fundamental to this uncertainty is a provisionality in the post-colonial experience of place that is papered over by misleadingly coherent spatial narratives that stem from the imperial inheritance of Australian mythology. Place is a model for the tension between the coherence of mythic narratives and the actual rhizomic formlessness of daily life. Place is the ‘ground’ of that life, but an ambivalent ground. An Ambivalent Ground approaches postcolonial Australia as a densely woven text. In this text, stories that describe the founding of a nation are enveloped by other stories, not so well known, that work to transform those more familiar narratives.

COVINGTON * HE SEMINOLE INDIANS were relatively late arrivals to the Florida peninsula; the Apalachees, Calusas, Timucuans, and smaller tribes had settled the area much earlier. The Seminole migrations into Florida came in three distinct phases: in the period between 1702-1750, they made raids against the Spainards and their Indian allies, and although the Seminoles acquired much knowledge of the Florida terrain, no significant settlements were made. In the period 1750-1812, six or more villages were estab- lished in the northern part of Florida, and small parties explored the entire peninsula in search of deer, bear, and other game, and to make contact with Cuban fishermen. The third phase came between the years of 1812-1820, when pressures in Alabama and Georgia forced the Upper and Lower Creeks to move south into Florida.

  • British Imperialism in Australia
    British Imperialism in Australia World History Textbook: pgs. 655-657 Geography Textbook: maps on pgs. 635-647 ____________________________________________________________________________ January 18, 2015Olivia Baird Washington State University: https://history105.libraries.wsu.edu/spring2015/2015/01/18/british-imperialism/ Why is there a random island, filled mainly with white people, in the middle of the Indian and Pacific Ocean? This does seem rather bizarre, does it not? Well it all started on January 26, 1788, the day that Australia succumbed to its former name, the penile colony. Aboriginals, Australian natives, possessed the land since time immemorial, but now with the entrance of eleven British vessels that carried 1030 convicts Australia was transformed, and as some may argue, never to be restored. The British did not only wish to exile their convicts far away from their homeland, but if possible to make them disappear. What better way to do this then ship them off to a remote, exiled and what some called ‘invisible island’, who’s land had no previous history with it’s now anomalous white creators [1]. British’s terms to move in their convicts to the virgin lands of Australia were mainly based off of net benefit calculation. The net benefits had three key elements: “the difference between the costs of keeping convicts in Great Britain and in Australia during their period of servitude; the net output the ex-convicts produced in each country after their release; and the cost of transportation.” [2] However, when the British took over Australia they brought in more than technology and livestock, they also brought war and multiple diseases as well.
