Looking back on the years leading up to Florida statehood, it is tempting to believe that the outcome was inevitable and to ignore the disagreements that occurred at the time. This view forms the myth of the “Old South” which was imagined as being stable and lacking any significant changes or crises. Documents written at the time along with books such as Creating an Old South contradict this view and reveal a number of divisive issues, including geographic divisions and disagreement over the ultimate fate of Indians that reveal that the idea of an unchanging South was just an illusion with no basis in reality. The author of the book Creating an Old South, Edward E Baptist, does a very effective job when it comes to addressing the main thesis
In Colonial America, during the 1600’s and 1700’s, there were religious, political and geographical changes which resulted in democratic and undemocratic changes. Religion had a big impact on Colonial America. Maryland had to pass the Act of Toleration because too many people were not able to exercise their religion freely.

Slaves like Henry McNeal Turner had wanted to be considered people, and they were getting their moment in the sun. African Americans were no longer considered slaves and treated like useless objects. They were being accepted in the united states.
While the Southern Colonies were known for having numerous plantations, they had few towns and cities. Plantation owners wanted to use as much land as possible for growing cash crops and were not interested in building towns. However, by the mid 1700s, settlements along the Atlantic coast grew into large towns. These large towns all had the same thing in common--good harbors for trade. Port cities became popular when both buyers and sellers needed a place to exchange goods.
Donovan Crowley Mr. Callaghan AP Literature & Composition May 2, 2024 Echoes of Loss & Memory Edgar Allen Poe’s iconic poem “The Raven” and Tim O’Brien’s famous Vietnam War novel The Things They Carried resonate with loss, memory, and the weight of the past, emphasizing how the tormenting presence of the past defines the present. Through vivid imagery and symbolism, Poe and O’Brien create a haunting atmosphere that reflects the psychological and emotional behaviors of the characters. While The Things They Carried is a war story and “The Raven” is a poem about a scholar and bird, both pieces of writing highlight the conflict between man and self when associated with grief and insanity and expose the distinction between truth and imagination

This reconstruction for the states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas) gave the southern people who swore an oath of allegiance pardons and amnesty, it also restored most or all of their property to them (except slaves). In each state they would also have to proclaim secession illegal and ratify the thirteenth amendment at their state convention.

After the Civil War, the United States was faced with numerous challenges. The Union had won and had to resolve several issues including handling the country’s debt, how to punish Confederate traitors and slavery. Slavery was one of the leading causes of the war and once it was a abolished the government had to work out a plan to help former slaves and freedmen. The solution was conducted by Radical Republicans; it was called The Southern Homestead Act of 1866 which allowed former slaves and freedmen to purchase land in the South for a low price. Although the Southern Homestead Act (1866) was meant to help blacks in Florida, it failed to do so due to discrimination on the basis of race, lack of government support and the land that was bought was of poor quality.

After reviewing the reading, it’s very clear that the southern colonies would be the best place to settle. I would become a farmer because of the business of it.
