by 1840, over half of the total population of florida lived in middle florida's six counties. so suddenly the center of all populations. in jefferson county, as in many other counties in that region, enslaved people soon outnumbered whites and made up 65% of the overall population by 1860. enslaved people in the county produced, among many other crops, 17% of florida's total cotton crop in 1860, so jefferson county quickly turned from native ground to a white agricultural colony. as white demand made land more valuable and as the population of whites and enslaved blacks became denser, america applied increasing pressure on indigenous people to leave. the u.s. relegated most people in florida to a reservation in the southern part -- that's the green thing on the -- i can't find my dots. the green part of that map. in the southern part of the peninsula, which is the southern half of that at least is largely swamp, right? in the 1820s. rather than comply, since many of them knew they would face starvation if they did so, many of the people who lived in middle/north florida, aroun

florida's growing economy is equally reliable on a free and open internet. the growth of high-tech jobs all over the country, but particularly in florida including those across the middle swath of florida and including the booming space coast is largely built on advanced high-speed internet networks available in those areas. and small businesses as well. all around, they use the internet as the great equalizer, bringing a global marketplace to your very doorstep. that global market for those companies exist only so long as everyone on the internet is treated the same. if you start picking and choosing, then you lose the value of that equalizing where small company can have a great idea and have access to the information just like a big company can do. citizens throughout my home state rely on the internet for civic and social engagement. the internet is today's social forum. it is a tool that we use to stay engaged in the lives of family, friends, and peers. the internet can also be an equalizing force, and as such has been a place where communities of color
