Book excerpt: The Floridian Republic Florida's Golden Age (LARGE PRINT EDITION) Founded by the British, the Southern colony of East Florida was built on faith, family, and freedom. Following the British withdrawal in 1783, East Florida had become a land of oppression and corruption. Spain banned all religions other than their own rigid and clericalist brand of Catholicism and propagated the myth that entering a Protestant place of worship automatically resulted in eternal damnation. Bribery bent the rules for some, but many people suffered. By 1812, the Floridian Revolution was on! The people of East Florida would unite against the Spanish Empire and elect John Houstoun McIntosh as the President of the Republic of Florida. The Republic of Florida, also called the Republic of East Florida, would be aided by many refugee families living in Georgia after the failed East Florida Rebellion of 1795. After liberating Amelia Island, the republic would establish Florida's first constitution, legislature, and judiciary. After much prayer, Saint Brigid was chosen as the heavenly protector and patron saint of Florida. This fact-based book details the culture, faith, and lore of the Floridians and their revolution which lasted from 1812 to 1819.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resurrecting a forgotten chapter in transatlantic history, James G. Cusick tells how, just before the United States went to war against Great Britain in 1812, an ill-advised invasion of a Spanish colony became a stage on which the young republic clumsily acted out its imperial ambitions and racial fears. With the halfhearted backing of President James Madison and Secretary of State James Monroe, a party of Georgians invaded East Florida, confident that partisans there would help them swiftly wrest the colony away from Spain. The raid was a strategic and political disaster. Few sympathizers materialized, official U.S. support dissolved, and an extended guerrilla war ensued. This was the "other war of 1812," or the Patriot War. Cusick, a lively storyteller as well as a meticulous scholar, conveys the savagery of the borderlands conflict that pitted American adventurers and anti-Spanish partisans against Spanish loyalists and their allies, who included Seminole Indians and escaped slaves. At the same time, Cusick looks at the American motivations behind the invasion, including apprehensions about Florida's growing population of unregulated blacks and geopolitical intrigues involving Spain, Britain, and France.
