An interesting little pamphlet on the American Revolution that is mostly unknown to most Americans. The colony of East Florida, and the colony of West Florida, are the present lands of Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. They mostly remained loyal to Great Britain, and George Washington was concerned about the threat to his southeast. Also, the British stored tons of military supplies at Fort Augustine (Castillo de San Marcos), which were not only a threat, but also a desired prize. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
On December 18, 1775, General George Washington wrote a letter to John Hancock, warning the Continental Congress that the British were stockpiling weapons and gunpowder in St. Augustine, East Florida. In his letter, Washington was sounding an alarm, as he feared that the British were preparing to reclaim the southern colonies by invading Georgia and South Carolina with an army from East Florida - a colony wholly loyal to King George III. And Washington was correct! The role played by British St. Augustine in the American War of Independence is Florida's most unique story in its 500-year history - perhaps the most unique story of the American Revolution.
