This land grant school, established in 1884, became part of the University of Florida in 1905 under the Buckman Act. Military courses were obligatory at the college and this illustration, taken from the 1890-1891 catalogue, shows students drilling. At the time of this picture, H. P. Baya, professor of mathematics and en- gineering, was acting commandant. Later, army officers were detailed to the campus. This campus is now the site of the Veterans Hospital in Lake City. The large three-story building with the flag flying from the cupola housed ad- ministrative offices and classrooms. The structures to the rear were dormi- tories, and the one in the foreground was the science laboratory and agri- cultural experiment station. The one-story long building was the Mechanic Art Hall. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/fhq/vol53/iss2/1 2 Society: Florida Historical Quarterly, Vol 53, Number 2 THE FLORIDA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Volume LIII, Number 2 October 1974 Published by STARS, 1974 3 Florida Historical Quarterly, Vol. 53 [1974], No. 2, Art. 1 THE FLORIDA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY SAMUEL PROCTOR, Editor STEPHEN KERBER, Editorial Assistant EDITORIAL ADVISORY BOARD LUIS R.

AKIN* ITH THE END OF Reconstruction in 1876, the national Re- W publican party abandoned the blacks of the South to state governments controlled by native southern whites. This tradi- tional textbook interpretation of the plight of blacks in the Bourbon South rested on two implicit assumptions: the black was dependent on national Republicanism for protection; and, with the end of this protective system, blacks ceased to be a viable independent political element.1 When blacks did vote dur- ing the Bourbon era, they were pictured as sheep being led by conservative whites. An example of this voting behavior in an urban setting is recounted in a recent study of Augusta, Georgia, during this period. The author graphically describes the “boozed and bought” Negroes doing the bidding of the white conservative “ring” on election day.2 The theory of docile blacks doing the bidding of their former masters has been under attack by scholars of the South for sev- eral decades. C. Vann Woodward contended that the political arena was one place in the Bourbon South where the black man was able to exercise some degree of independence. But even * Mr. Akin is a doctoral candidate in the department of history, Uni- versity of Florida, Gainesville. An earlier version of this paper was read at the regional Phi Alpha Theta convention, March 3, 1974, University of Florida. 1. The traditional view of post-Reconstruction politics in the South is presented by Oscar Handlin: “After 1876, the South was solidly Demo- cratic. Republican efforts to maintain a foothold . were half- hearted and ineffectual. The only effective dissent came from among the Democrats.” Oscar Handlin, The History of the United States, 2 vols.

The "progressive profile" as developed in the Mowry-Chandler-Hofstadter thesis characterizes the progressive as one who possessed distinctive social, economic, and political qualities that distinguished him from the non-progressive. In 1965 in a political history seminar at Central Missouri State College, Warrensburg, Missouri, I tested the above model by using a single United States House representative from the state of Missouri. When I came to the Oklahoma State University in 1967, I decided to expand my test of this model by examining the thirteen representatives from Oklahoma during the years 1901 through 1917. In testing the thesis for Oklahoma, I investigated the social, economic, and political characteristics of the members whom Oklahoma sent to the United States House of Representatives during those years, and scrutinized the role they played in the formulation of domestic policy. In addition, a geographical analysis of the various Congressional districts suggested the effects the characteristics of the constituents might have on the representatives.

COUNTRYMAN University of Michigan This article traces the origins of black independent electoral activism in Philadelphia during the 1970s to the Black Power movement of the 1960s. Specifically, it argues that Black Power activists in Philadelphia turned to electoral strategies to consolidate their efforts to achieve community control over public insti- tutions in the city’s black working-class neighborhoods. Finally, the article concludes with a brief evalu- ation of the careers of African American activist state legislators David Richardson and Roxanne Jones and W. Wilson Goode, Philadelphia’s first African American mayor. Keywords: Black Power; community control; independent politics; Democratic Party The political philosophy of black nationalism means that the black man should control the politics and politicians in his own community.

Old photographs, as well as television imd radio programs, might reminisce about an in­ nocent era. But dramatic and pivotal changes redefined Florida after World War II. While much of the state's present infrastructure evolved between 1945 and 1960, battles between leaders of old and new Florida did leave a mixed legacy. Issues that confronted Florid­ ians in the 1950s continue to influence contemporary political, social, educational, cultural, and environmental life. 1 Florida had joined its southern neighbors as a bastion of one-party rule. After the post-Civil War era of Reconstruction, state authorities propagated a political structure based upon white supremacy and Democratic party hegemony.

  • Appendix: Nixon's Caribbean Milieu, 1950–1968 “Though His Working Life Has Been Passed Chiefly on the Far Shores of the C
    Appendix: Nixon’s Caribbean Milieu, 1950–1968 “Though his working life has been passed chiefly on the far shores of the continent, close by the Pacific and the Atlantic, some emotion always brings Richard Nixon back to the Caribbean waters off Key Biscayne and Florida.”—T. H. White, The Making of the President, 19681 Richard Nixon, like millions of other Americans, enjoyed Florida and the nearby islands of Cuba and the Bahamas as refuges where he could leave behind his many cares and inhibitions. But he also returned again and again to the region as an important ongoing source of political and financial support. In the process, the lax ethics of its shadier operators left its mark on his career. This Sunbelt frontier had long attracted more than its share of sleazy businessmen, promoters, and politicians who shared a get-rich-quick spirit. In Florida, hustlers made quick fortunes selling worthless land to gullible northerners and fleecing vacationers at illegal but wide-open gambling joints. Sheriffs and governors protected bookmakers and casino operators in return for campaign contributions and bribes. In nearby island nations, as described in chapter 4, dictators forged alliances with US mobsters to create havens for offshore gambling and to wield political influence in Washington. Nixon’s Caribbean milieu had roots in the mobster-infested Florida of the 1940s. He was introduced to that circle through banker and real estate investor Bebe Rebozo, lawyer Richard Danner, and Rep. George Smathers. Later this chapter will explore some of the diverse connections of this group by following the activities of Danner during the 1968 presidential campaign, as they touched on Nixon’s financial and political ties to Howard Hughes, the South Florida crime organization of Santo Trafficante, and mobbed-up hotels and casinos in Las Vegas and Miami.

  • Looking Back Okeechobee County Judges Sponsored by Henry Hudson Hancock Henry Hudson Hancock Established His Homestead on the East Side of Taylor Creek in 1902
    CENTENNIAL Looking Back Okeechobee County Judges sponsored by Henry Hudson Hancock Henry Hudson Hancock established his homestead on the east side of Taylor Creek in 1902. On April 5, 1904, Hancock became the third registered voter in the new voting precinct of Tantie. After St. Lucie County was created out of lower Brevard County in 1905, Hancock was appointed justice of the peace of district 6 in Tantie, as well as cattle inspector. Judge Hancock served as justice of the peace from 1906 to 1913 and from 1915 to August 1917. When Okeechobee County was established in August 1917, Hancock was appointed the first county judge; he served to the end of 1918. Judge Hancock was also elected as a school trustee in Tantie (1908), St. Lucie County, and served in 1921 in Okeechobee County. He served on the Okeechobee City Council from 1924 to 1929, and was mayor and municipal judge from 1933 to 1936.
