@@LG-bs1rs yes, technically, the second Seminole war is still ongoing. Because the Seminole never surrender, the war is still on and is the longest running war in history.

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!
I've lived in Florida all of my life. I'm 66 now. My parents were born here in the late 20's and my grandparents were here around 1900. I was born in Tampa and at 5 years old, moved to Clearwater. My parents were born in West Tampa. I'm Spanish, Italian.
I was born and raised in Florida and our family sponsored two Cuban refugee families in the 60s. It was an interesting and fun time. For us kids, we got to eat Royal Castle many nights a week.

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.
There is a ferry, a highscool, and a neighborhood named after him. Also, a beach named for the Huguenots. I live just north of Jacksonville. P.S. we don't have to mention what the Spanish did.
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.
@thomasnelson6161 Well if all we know about Florida's rich history we learned from our American History books we only get part of the history. The only reason the British got there hands on Florida is because tha Spanish King at the time made a deal with the British Monarchs at the time. The deal was leave Havana's harbors and leave Cuba alone, and the Spanish would turn over Florida to England , snd so the English left Cuba and not to return.and The English would take Florida instead. Cuba was Spain's Main seaport and shipyards in the American Atlantic side at the time, but the British had there eyes on the British colonies to the North, and didn't want a full scale war with Spain. Non the less Spain established Naval blockades to hinder supplies to the British during the American Revolution and also gold and silver flowing out of Cuba to help the American fight the British. After the Revolution the British left the United States and Spain regained Florida because it had already had been a Spanish Colony since the early 1500's. Many books say it was sold to the US.
As a Florida Native with ancestors dating back to the 1820’s, this video is pretty accurate. Sadly, we are losing our farms no thanks to Over Development and our Historic location and buildings such as a all black cemetery somewhere in the Tampa Bay Area that I have heard about in local news are getting harder and harder to protect and our Confederate Statues, Graves and so on or being torn down, moved to another location or vandalized.
South Florida has got it bad bro so many northerners all like “ the weather here makes me soo happi” then they move in, fueling the suburban industry and running many cultural towns, farms, and forests
I think it's just about the weather and local politics at play. And to be far, Spain claimed hella land so it's not like there is something to think about that having something to do with that.

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.
Just a quick note: horses originally existed in the Americas but died out around 10,000 years ago. Around 1519 when the Spanish first came over was when horses arrived. Recent archeological evidence suggest that horses spread North via trade routes a full 100 year prior than originally thought
I really liked your video sir👍👍. Also, please make a video on the history of the states of India amd China and also other countries you want to talk about!👍
6:46 something a lot of people don't seem to know is that horses evolved here in North America and 1 our ancestors were coming across the Bering land bridge horses were going the other direction and it's a good thing they did because they later became extinct here in North America and only returned once the Spanish arrived or there would be no horses anywhere in the world
You also got the British and Spanish Empire transaction wrong. In 1763, Cuba was in British hands after winning it in the 7 years war. Spain traded Florida to Britain for Cuba.
I think that the different time zone in the Florida Panhandle has a lot to do with things here. I've always thought that the Florida Panhandle feels like a completely different state compared to the rest of Florida. Being in the Central Time Zone doesn't give the Florida Panhandle the East Coast vibe that you feel in the rest of Florida. Jacksonville is obviously a major exception to the idea of a low population in North Florida.

That therapy ad at ~ 2:00 was weird and random af and made me turn off the video. If the narrator said i was about to watch a brief ad it would have been less annoyed than feeling like i was about to hear a trauma dump
A common mistake is a lot of people think Miami was named after the Miami Indian tribes. Completely false. The Miami tribe were in the Ohio valley. The city of Miami today was named after the Mayaimi tribe that lived along Lake Okeechobee at the time. Today, the tribe is almost completely extinct.
Florida, located in the southeastern United States, is known for its diverse ecosystems, including beaches, wetlands, and forests. It plays a significant role in world geography due to its strategic position between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, making it a key hub for trade, tourism, and wildlife conservation. Its unique climate and geographical features also contribute to its rich biodiversity.
The Seminole people were never conquered by the US Army. They were never removed and exist in south Florida today. This is the most unfactual history lesson ever!
Ponte de Leon probably found a Portuguese who was speaking Spanish. The Portuguese were in North America before all other Europeans, except the Vikings.
As some one who relocated from Germany to Florida. This Video was important for me to get the history of Flordia! With such rich history Florida could be its own country.
That Spanish battle flag flew over all the Spanish Americas. Fun fact. PR. and Florida (even far flung Philippines) were part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. All administered from Mexico City.
So as a Puerto Rican mix with Indian I can say Florida is our state you guy took it from us or from someone in the comment he said it was sold to them ?
14:00 While fleeing African Americans definitely contributed somewhat to the low population, to list it as the reason Florida was so underpopulated is just wrong. Florida was sparsely populated before their exodus, and the number of African Americans leaving was not substantial enough to really account for major population change. The reason Florida has few people in it was because it used to be very difficult and unpleasant to live there (and still is to a smaller extent). It's mostly swampland, very hot and muggy, with water being a major issue (too much dirty water that makes it hard to navigate and build, but not enough drinkable water). It was not until fairly recent decades that Florida became more populated, largely due to new technologies and infrastructure to get around the swampland, and financed by a major tourist boom 16:20 Disney is not the largest employer in the state. Publix is
You didn’t mention that Florida has a lot of beautiful ecotourism also. Even before Disney came to the sunshine state, tourists flocked here for the beaches yeah, but also for much of the beauty inland as well. There are many state parks, in fact the acquired acreage of Florida state parks makes up more land mass than the state of Maryland with 2.8 million acres. The Ocala National Forest makes up about a half million of those acres alone and the Everglades National park has 1.5 million acres of wetlands. There are some of the most gorgeous springs located in and around Ocala, Florida. The most famous, Silver Springs park is still operational and a good place to see animals in their natural habitat, unlike Disney, with their fake rubber animals. Silver Springs was taken over by the state parks, but the private park still operates within the state park, which includes the beautiful silver river. It is a spring fed river that is crystal clear for 6 miles and is 30 to 40 foot deep in most areas. There is still the Weeki Wachee state park that still operates with its underwater amphitheater, where women in mermaid costumes put on a show in the main spring head. The water is crystal clear and you can watch the mermaid show through huge glass panels in the underground theater that peeks into the spring. There is always so much to see in Florida and the state has one of the richest and most diverse wildlife population of any other state. People have been vacationing in Florida for over two hundred years and still do. There are far more attractions for those who like ecotourism and want to escape the Disney crowd, while still enjoying your vacation time.
Completely incorrect. 800 million acres is 1.25 million square miles, about double the size of Alaska. Florida State Parks actually comprise closer to 800 thousand acres.
@@MirzaAhmed89 right, the state parks are around 800 thousand acres, but the Ocala National Forest is around .5 million acres and the Everglades is 1.5 million acres. Those combined are around 2 million acres. There are other privately owned parks, but I can’t find a number on that. I can’t find a total right now, but I did read once that all of the protected lands in Florida in total more than the size of Maryland, whatever that is?

I live in FL have been to st Augustine, there is a Spanish fort still standing that has cannons from 200 years ago still on the fort, the cannon have latin on them and there’s even a chapel for prayer in the fort
Mostly right - a few parts of Louisiana were known as 'The Florida Parrishes'. Parts of West Florida were absorbed into Alabama and Mississippi as well
All of North America was claimed by Spain. French were claim jumpers. Since the Spanish had no settlers or military forces in that large region which made up most of the Louisiana territory and which they claimed, the French had an easy time in claiming the territory for themselves.

6:46 something a lot of people don't seem to know is that horses evolved here in North America and 1 our ancestors were coming across the Bering land bridge horses were going the other direction and it's a good thing they did because they later became extinct here in North America and only returned once the Spanish arrived or there would be no horses anywhere in the world
Dats cool
Is it a good idea to train soldiers in tropical florida for battle in europe?
No but if you are planning to take back Cuba yes
@@cameroonkendrick6312 yeah that makes sense
@@TheEbrithil2 Yea if you take some Floridians like me to Europe we would be wearing 2 layers of clothes in the summer 😂
@@cameroonkendrick6312I'm pretty sure Cuba was American at the time.
Yes, near my hometown, they trained for beach landings...like Normandy.
You also got the British and Spanish Empire transaction wrong. In 1763, Cuba was in British hands after winning it in the 7 years war. Spain traded Florida to Britain for Cuba.
I think that the different time zone in the Florida Panhandle has a lot to do with things here. I've always thought that the Florida Panhandle feels like a completely different state compared to the rest of Florida. Being in the Central Time Zone doesn't give the Florida Panhandle the East Coast vibe that you feel in the rest of Florida. Jacksonville is obviously a major exception to the idea of a low population in North Florida.
Beautiful Florida, the only place I would visit in the States.
@@cameroonkendrick6312 I know the beautiful Hawaii Mr Kendrick, if it wasn't part of the US, it would undoubtedly be one of my dream destinations. The US is a great nation plagued by bad politics, beautiful nonetheless.

That therapy ad at ~ 2:00 was weird and random af and made me turn off the video. If the narrator said i was about to watch a brief ad it would have been less annoyed than feeling like i was about to hear a trauma dump
You're missing the settlement of the French Huguenots in Jacksonville at Ft Caroline prior to the Spanish in St Augustine
As a Floridian myself, I have gone to Disney twice in the 10 years of living here
I'm a lifelong Floridian turning 30 in March and I've only been there twice
It's cool see history of Florida and learn about it as a person who has lived in Florida most my life so proud
A common mistake is a lot of people think Miami was named after the Miami Indian tribes. Completely false. The Miami tribe were in the Ohio valley. The city of Miami today was named after the Mayaimi tribe that lived along Lake Okeechobee at the time. Today, the tribe is almost completely extinct.
Florida, located in the southeastern United States, is known for its diverse ecosystems, including beaches, wetlands, and forests. It plays a significant role in world geography due to its strategic position between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, making it a key hub for trade, tourism, and wildlife conservation. Its unique climate and geographical features also contribute to its rich biodiversity.
Florida became very important
This sounds like an AI script read by a non-American voice actor. It’s full of not only incorrect history but also mispronunciation.

Grew up in Destin. It was paradise to those not from there
Visiting Florida: Sunny vacation paradise.
Living in Florida: "Is this what the Catholics call purgatory? Please let me out."
Interesting video. Gave me some things to look into which is always awesome.
The Seminole people were never conquered by the US Army. They were never removed and exist in south Florida today. This is the most unfactual history lesson ever!
Publix employs several times the amount of working people as the Land of Mickey Mouse
Ponte de Leon probably found a Portuguese who was speaking Spanish. The Portuguese were in North America before all other Europeans, except the Vikings.
heck, this was great. Can you make history of slovakia? im slovak-russian so i want to know.
Thank you for showing my states history
As some one who relocated from Germany to Florida. This Video was important for me to get the history of Flordia! With such rich history Florida could be its own country.
Keep spreading the goods new thank you for helping Jesus God bless you all ☺️❤️
no mention of the Louisiana Purchase, which was kinda a big deal
Pensacola was first, before Cocacola and Pepsicola..
Pensacola is the first settlement of European North America, in 1559, 6 years before st Augustine
DeLuna awakens.
Florida, the state that flies Spain's battle flag. The same flag flies in Puerto Rico by its 1st governor, Don Juan Ponce de Leon.
I wish we could change the flag though it’s too similar to Alabama
That Spanish battle flag flew over all the Spanish Americas. Fun fact. PR. and Florida (even far flung Philippines) were part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. All administered from Mexico City.
Your maps of Florida and its cities are sending me into a rage
Why?
You forgot to mention that Florida had contested election results twice; in 1876 and 2000.
3:03 advert skipped
So as a Puerto Rican mix with Indian I can say Florida is our state you guy took it from us or from someone in the comment he said it was sold to them ?
Puerto Rico never owned Florida not did India what are you talking about

Pensacola is older than St. Augustine .
Wow, Florida is a fascinating "peninshula"!

While fleeing African Americans definitely contributed somewhat to the low population, to list it as the reason Florida was so underpopulated is just wrong. Florida was sparsely populated before their exodus, and the number of African Americans leaving was not substantial enough to really account for major population change.
The reason Florida has few people in it was because it used to be very difficult and unpleasant to live there (and still is to a smaller extent). It's mostly swampland, very hot and muggy, with water being a major issue (too much dirty water that makes it hard to navigate and build, but not enough drinkable water).
It was not until fairly recent decades that Florida became more populated, largely due to new technologies and infrastructure to get around the swampland, and financed by a major tourist boom

Disney is not the largest employer in the state. Publix is
so ur telling me alligator vs man has a history?
Oh it’s more than that
You didn’t mention that Florida has a lot of beautiful ecotourism also. Even before Disney came to the sunshine state, tourists flocked here for the beaches yeah, but also for much of the beauty inland as well. There are many state parks, in fact the acquired acreage of Florida state parks makes up more land mass than the state of Maryland with 2.8 million acres. The Ocala National Forest makes up about a half million of those acres alone and the Everglades National park has 1.5 million acres of wetlands.
There are some of the most gorgeous springs located in and around Ocala, Florida. The most famous, Silver Springs park is still operational and a good place to see animals in their natural habitat, unlike Disney, with their fake rubber animals. Silver Springs was taken over by the state parks, but the private park still operates within the state park, which includes the beautiful silver river. It is a spring fed river that is crystal clear for 6 miles and is 30 to 40 foot deep in most areas.
There is still the Weeki Wachee state park that still operates with its underwater amphitheater, where women in mermaid costumes put on a show in the main spring head. The water is crystal clear and you can watch the mermaid show through huge glass panels in the underground theater that peeks into the spring. There is always so much to see in Florida and the state has one of the richest and most diverse wildlife population of any other state. People have been vacationing in Florida for over two hundred years and still do. There are far more attractions for those who like ecotourism and want to escape the Disney crowd, while still enjoying your vacation time.
Completely incorrect. 800 million acres is 1.25 million square miles, about double the size of Alaska.
Florida State Parks actually comprise closer to 800 thousand acres.
@@MirzaAhmed89 right, the state parks are around 800 thousand acres, but the Ocala National Forest is around .5 million acres and the Everglades is 1.5 million acres. Those combined are around 2 million acres. There are other privately owned parks, but I can’t find a number on that. I can’t find a total right now, but I did read once that all of the protected lands in Florida in total more than the size of Maryland, whatever that is?
Good to learn more about the old history of the Peninshula
why does he pronounce peninsula as pen-in-chula?
Florida is a fun living state by the way and the history of it is wonderful and yeah that there is a famous NBA team which is Miami Heat,good friends!!!LONG LIVES RESPECTIVELY TO FLORIDA AND UNITED STATES ON THE WHOLE,GOOD FRIENDS!!!🇺🇲

Im sorry so much of what was left of Old Florida is gone or re-done, like the beautiful old lighthouse beach at Key Biscayne so small and beautiful with the gentle surf and
Another mistake, Pensacola is older than St Augistine.
Pensacola got destroyed saint Augustine is the oldest continuous city in the country however yes Pensacola was founded first however it got wiped off the map by a hurricane
I just love history. Im living here now and this was quite interesting.
I live in FL have been to st Augustine, there is a Spanish fort still standing that has cannons from 200 years ago still on the fort, the cannon have latin on them and there’s even a chapel for prayer in the fort
Great video, but Pensacola was technically the first settlement. Saint Augustine is the oldest continuous settlement in the US.
Until 1803, Louisiane was french, not spanish.
Mostly right - a few parts of Louisiana were known as 'The Florida Parrishes'. Parts of West Florida were absorbed into Alabama and Mississippi as well
All of North America was claimed by Spain. French were claim jumpers. Since the Spanish had no settlers or military forces in that large region which made up most of the Louisiana territory and which they claimed, the French had an easy time in claiming the territory for themselves.
