A few mistakes here. First, Florida was not ceded to the United States, it was sold. Second, the Seminoles in the Everglades were never removed, they were the only Native American group to never surrender to the US government, and are still there to this day. Third, Disney is not the largest employer in the state, Publix is.

As someone who lives in Florida, this video on the history of Florida brightens up my day. Thank you, Knowledgia.🙂👍

You forgot to mention the evolution of “The Florida Man”

I'm French, and my ancestor, Jean Ribault, a French Huguenot, founded in 1562 the first ever protestant settlement in the new world: Fort Caroline, in modern-day Jacksonville, FL.

Fun Fact: In the navy, every state had a ship named for them. In our case, we had the USS Florida, a dreadnought battleship commissioned in 1911. Her design, while an improvement on the previous Delaware class of dreadnought battleships, was not succeeded in full potential until the invention of the New York class, which introduced 14-inch naval guns to the equation, compared to Florida's 12-inch barrels. She saw service at Veracruz in the aftermath of the Tampico Incident of 1914, sending her marines ashore. After this, she saw service in WWI, operating with the British Grand Fleet at Scapa Flow. She later escorted convoys with the New York class battleship Texas, and would later see service in the Azores with her sister Utah. Under the terms of the London Naval Treaty of 1930, which limited the amount of ships wider world powers could have, she was scrapped after a twenty year long service life. Her bell, (considered the heart or soul of a ship,) was preserved, and can still be seen at the Museum of Florida History in Tallahassee.

Proud Floridian born and raised. My mother's family came from Cuba escaping Fidel in 1966. Thank you so much for dedicating a video on our beautiful home. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Florida and Texas literally seem like their own countries with such a rich history

Henry Flagler did not get a mention. He built the railroad all the way to Key Largo and cities such as Palm Beach. He created the boom of the 1920s.

As a man who has lived his entire life in Florida, thank you for this nice video😊.

Pensacola FL is the first settlement of North America, Spain King and Queen escaped during the war in their own country. A church was built in Pensacola on spring Street. Where a spring flows during that time the spring was a life source of fresh water. Ship builders built the church. Inside the church looking up you can see that it's a ship turned upside down. The king and Queen gave that church a silver cross. Which is still there today. Today,At times the king and Queen return to the church to view the cross and receive blessings. Just a nugget of information.

I think its pretty interesting that the 3 richest and most populous states today are all former spanish territories.

People forget Pensacola was actually established before St.Augustine in 1559

1. Many thanks to the Spanish for discovering Easter in 1498 and building the first settlement (San Agustin) in the United States in 1565. 2. Curiosity: The first Thanksgiving was in San Agustín, Florida, Viceroyalty of New Spain/Mexico, Spain in the year 1565 between Spaniards and Tequestas. 3. 8:14 - Spanish Nutka left the chat:

"No major Civil War Battles were fought in Florida" Battle of Olustee: do I look like a joke to you?

My wife’s family is Roman Catholic.. I always wondered, but I supposed her forefathers fled to Florida and converted. We live in Tallahassee not too far from Apalachee parkway. It’s amazing how much history is here

My ancestors moved to Florida in 1822. Only one year after the Spanish ceded florida.
