As a result of the 1763 Treaty of Paris, Spain relinquished
Florida, a land it had possessed for over 200 years, to the
British. With revolution imminent, Britain set about populating its
two new colonies of East and West Florida with loyal British
Tories, ultimately turning St. Augustine into a southern American
headquarters for British interests. This volume details the British
occupation of colonial Florida immediately before and during the
American Revolution with emphasis on the effect this possession had
on the course of the war. Beginning with a brief summary of Spanish
history, it takes a look at the relative colonial positions of
Spain and Britain with regard to the Americas during the
pre-revolutionary period. The Georgia-Florida border dispute, the
invasion of East Florida and the eventual return of the Spaniards
are also discussed. Finally, an appendix details St. Augustine
buildings from the revolutionary period which are still standing
today.
