Florida is our country’s 27th state. It has played a large role in several wars, particularly the American Civil War and World War II. Comparing the two, Florida has impacted WWII more than the Civil War because of the amount of troops trained and enlisted and the supplies and war machines sent to the front lines. The Civil War was also significant for Florida, but not as much as WWII. Florida has had quite an eventful history. It’s first human inhabitants are believed to be several Native American

The Spanish were reluctant to give up what is now Florida, but in the end they worked out an agreement called the Adams Onis Treaty. In this essay I will describe how the Americans eventually got these provinces, the set backs of the signing of the treaty, and how it effected the economic growth of our nation. Americans living in West Florida between the Iberville and Perdido Rivers declared their independence, and
I visited the Mission San Luis last Early November for my Primary Site paper. Mission San Luis was the capital of the Western Spanish missions and Appalachian nations from 1656 to 1704. This area is situated west 2 miles away from the capital. The reason I picked Mission San Luis as my primary site is because of its interesting history, not only because of the very close proximity of it to my apartment. Its great that its about a five minute drive to the Mission from my house, but because the history

During his travels through La Florida he encountered numerous groups of native peoples, making friends of some and enemies of others.

It stamped a forefoot, lowered its head, and began to eat once more. This deer had failed to detect a Florida panther that was downwind (going into the wind) and crouched low in the underbrush.

The Band Trip I was only a sophomore at Iowa City West High when I got to go to Disney World for the very first time. We left after school one day on a 24 hour bus ride down to Florida. I did not mind the ride; it just got to be very cramped and hot at some points. We were able to watch movies which were a good thing because there was not much to do on a bus. We watched Les Misèrables, Finding Nemo, and The Sandlot. We would stop for food every so often and whatever town we ended up in, we got
