Chapter 10 Worksheet

 (1). Who are the authors?

Susan Richbourg Parker and William s. Coker.

(5). Identify and discuss the issue of "perspective" with regard to Anglo writings of Spanish government.

The perspective was disarrayed due to the personal opinions of the English on how they viewed the Spanish people. They enhanced their time when they were in control while making the Spanish period seem less important. They highlighted the bad and misjudgments of the Spanish period instead of having a more open and complete approach. This blurs what was the truth through their perspective (Gannon et al., 2018, p. 162-163). 

(2). How did Spain cede one territory and receive two back twenty years later?

There were many rebellions and revolts and tho America tried to create a treaty so that they could keep the territory it failed. Th spanish were able to take back St. Agustine and Texas back (Gannon et al., 2018, p.175-176).

(5). Describe 2 territories, there locations, capitals, and industries, & resources.

East Florida was located up and around New Orleans and stretched to Tallahsse. The capital was St. Agustine. They had many goods exported out of East Florida. Things like sugar, timber, and rice were what was exported. They also The also would trade land with the natives and in turn would take away some of there debt which was high. West Florida was located down the strip of land that was by the Gulf of Mexico and stretched to Mississipi. The capital was Pensicola. It had many rivers that were very good for trade. This is why it was such an important piece of land. It was believed it could have became a great agricultural and commercial land but no one took his advice.

(8). What are some of the turning points for the rapid turnover of FL (Spanish/Britsh/U.S).

The French and Indian War, The American Revolution, the Florida Treaty. The splitting of Florida into East and West.

(5). Present evidence political, social, and economic influence/effects in chapter 10.

The economic potential of east and West Florida led to political issues. They both had great access to trading and goods. wars and treaties continued to split Florida back and forth. This had different effect on the people. There were many rebellions and revoults due to the moving around of who Florida belonged to.

(2). What do you find most interesting about this article?

I think I find the idea of Florida being split up into East and West Florida most interesting. Comparing it to how Florida is now it is interesting to see how they divided it. It is also interesting to see where I would be in present day Florida. The idea of Florida being split in to is strange since I see it as whole in today's period. It's engaging to think of what Florida would be like if it was still split in two. Every place in Florida is so different though so maybe that is a lasting effect.
