HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF FLORIDA LAW* * JAMES MILTON CARSON ' I THE NATURE AND ORIGIN OF LAW All law must derive from the psychology of the people of each particular jurisdiction, and when we speak of the psychology of the people we mean the controlling, or "mass," or "mob" psychology of the people in any particular jurisdiction. Clarence Darrow in an.article in the American Mercury,1 went very deeply into the history of the influence of the masses of the people upon laws sought to be imposed from above, and demonstrated that even in countries whose governments are considered despotic or monarchical, the people them- selves must support the laws, or else they fall into disuse and are finally re- pealed. Since law must depend upon the psychology of the people in the particular jurisdiction, it becomes essential in trying to trace the development of law in a state such as Florida to consider the different influences which enter into the formation of the so-called "mob" psychology of the people.

  • New Orleans in 1810

    New Orleans in 1810

    New Orleans in 1810 As the Crescent City begins a new decade, it is worthwhile exploring what this glittering gem on the Mississippi was like 210 years ago. 1810 marked seven years after the Louisiana Purchase but two years before Louisiana achieved statehood. The city of Memphis, Tennessee, was not yet founded until nearly a decade later. In fact, that summer was the first public celebration of the Fourth of July in Louisiana at the St. Philip Theatre (Théâtre St. Philippe). Built in 1807 on St. Phillip Street, between Royal and Bourbon streets, the theatre could accommodate 700 people. With a parquette and two rows of boxes, the Théâtre St. Philippe was the rendezvous of all the fashionable people of New Orleans. The gala performance held that July 4, 1810, was in honor of the Declaration of Independence and the proceeds were devoted to the relief of victims of a giant fire on July 1 that had destroyed twenty-five houses. Haitian rebels battle the French in the Saint-Domingue Revolution (1791 – 1804) The revolution in Saint-Domingue brought about the second republic in the Western Hemisphere. Not all were happy or safe with the new leadership, and many Haitian refugees would make their way to New Orleans. The 1809 migration brought 2,731 whites (affranchis), 3,102 free persons of African descent (gens de couleur libres) and 3,226 slaves to the city. While Governor Claiborne and other American officials wanted to prevent the arrival of free black émigrés, French Creoles wanted to increase the French-speaking population. In a few months between 1809 and 1810, 10,000 Saint-Domingue refugees poured into the Territory of Orleans, after they were no longer welcome in Cuba.

    1 Failed Filibusters: the Kemper Rebellion, the Burr Conspiracy And

    Failed Filibusters: The Kemper Rebellion, the Burr Conspiracy and Early American Expansion Francis D. Cogliano In January 1803 the Congressional committee which considered the appropriation for the Louisiana Purchase observed baldly, “it must be seen that the possession of New Orleans and the Floridas will not only be required for the convenience of the United States, but will be demanded by their most imperious necessities.”1 The United States claimed that West Florida, which stretched south of the 31st parallel from the Mississippi River in the west to the Apalachicola River in the east (roughly the modern state of Louisiana east of the Mississippi, and the Gulf coasts of Mississippi and Alabama, and the western portion of the Florida panhandle) was included in the Louisiana Purchase, a claim denied by the Spanish. The American claim was spurious but the intent behind it was clear. The United States desired control of West Florida so that the residents of the Mississippi Territory could have access to the Gulf of Mexico. Since the American Revolution the region had been settled by Spaniards, French creoles and Anglo-American loyalists. Beginning in the 1790s thousands of emigrants from the United States migrated to the territory, attracted by a generous system of Spanish land grants. An 1803 American government report described the population around Baton Rouge as “composed partly of Acadians, a very few French, and great majority of Americans.” During the first decade of the nineteenth century West Florida became increasingly unstable. In addition to lawful migrants, the region attracted lawless adventurers, including deserters from the United States army and navy, many of whom fled from the nearby territories of Louisiana and Mississippi.2 1 Annals of Congress, 7th Cong.

    A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo

    A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo Chapter 1 Introduction This book is the result of research conducted for an exhibition on Louisiana history prepared by the Louisiana State Museum and presented within the walls of the historic Spanish Cabildo, constructed in the 1790s. All the words written for the exhibition script would not fit on those walls, however, so these pages augment that text. The exhibition presents a chronological and thematic view of Louisiana history from early contact between American Indians and Europeans through the era of Reconstruction. One of the main themes is the long history of ethnic and racial diversity that shaped Louisiana. Thus, the exhibition—and this book—are heavily social and economic, rather than political, in their subject matter. They incorporate the findings of the "new" social history to examine the everyday lives of "common folk" rather than concentrate solely upon the historical markers of "great white men." In this work I chose a topical, rather than a chronological, approach to Louisiana's history. Each chapter focuses on a particular subject such as recreation and leisure, disease and death, ethnicity and race, or education. In addition, individual chapters look at three major events in Louisiana history: the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Organization by topic allows the reader to peruse the entire work or look in depth only at subjects of special interest. For readers interested in learning even more about a particular topic, a list of additional readings follows each chapter. Before we journey into the social and economic past of Louisiana, let us look briefly at the state's political history.

INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)” . If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.
