Hi.
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.

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.

I think St.Augustine was the largest and first continuously inhabited settlement.
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

This video is very broad but nice to get a gist of what happened. One note to make, while Florida was indeed in the confederacy, the reality is that Florida didn't really like being involved in the conflict much since Florida was more or less a melting pot of northerners and southerners before the war. It just happen to be the state behind all of the confederacy so why bother picking a fight about it when there were financial benefits anyways in being part of the confederacy. Not to downplay the slave trade of course in Florida for it was a real thing that had a huge economic impact into Florida, but it wasn't as big of a deal compared to states like Alabama during that time period, since there was already a technological turn that began in Florida, in particular, the central Florida areas, which needed less slaves. In fact, later on, due to black people being found and killed by certain groups, a lot of business men had no choice but to resort to getting cheap labor from Sweden with the promises of the new world because they really hated that their "property" were constantly getting destroyed by a bunch ding bats that hated black people that they were willing to trespass and kill off black people at the risk of themselves being charged and/or killed by the property owners. And inventors in Florida were advancing their designs in various industries that required less labor anyways since it was very difficult to even get labor to begin with in a shitty swampy place riddled with constant diseases and exotic threats. Florida was fair game for anybody and did not and does not discriminate. It's called the "Australia of America" for a reasonXD Needless to say, Florida is very much a different and weird state from the rest of the south that often became the exception instead of the rule for many things related to the South.

Florida's Slave trade begun when it was acquired by the US in 1821 and ended in 1865 or only 44 years out of its 500+ years since European colonization. The state doesn't have that deep Confederate history & culture that you would find in other Southern states.
