florida under spanish rule lasted for 200 years. and then after the seven years war in 1763, great britain acquired the region from spain and established the british colonies of east and west florida. this lasts from 1763 to 1784. with the american revolution, britain ceded florida back to spain. by 1784, this is 20 years after british rule, the colony was transformed from a sparsely populated military outpost to a nation plantation export colony of 4,000 people, most of whom were enslaved. the war of independence interrupted that transformation and turned st. augustine into a refugee camp for loyalists. the number of people ballooned from the 4,000 locals to 10,000 people by 1778 and 17,000 after the evacuations of charleston and savannah in 1782. during the war of independence, spain, like france, had entered the conflict against great britain to try to weaken its european rival. and during the peace of paris in 1782 and 1783, spain wanted to trade for gibraltar, and they had stacked up a lot of places they had conquered and occup

the main role was played by individual migrants coming from the united states into florida florida. i don't know a lot about the did the high level diplomatic history between the u.s. and spain. i am early in this project so that's not something i've looked into yet. but what do see popping up in the records and over is a lot of migration for economic reasons from. the deep south from georgia south carolina really, primarily georgia into florida seeking to take advantage of the lawlessness, the chaos of this moment in spanish florida and that those americans sometimes end up having to get license to swear allegiance to the spanish crown. this continues picks up a lot in the 1790s. there is filibustering heading down into spanish florida as well. so it's it's really. the empire of liberty concept of individuals coming from the united states who are making themselves a their own thorn in the side the spanish and forcing some concessions eventually from the later spanish governors to permit them to worship freely. protestants, for example. that's one of the concessions that's made, bec

we were talking about florida. i always have to text my florida friends.ther interesting thing that's happened is you have seen a lot of florida voters migrate, you know, republicans have been winning the voter registration game for a long time in the state of florida. but independents are winning it harder. and so you're starting to see a big part of that electorate in florida be independent and no party affiliated. the turnout, it looks like, and we'll get all the finals numbers when we have the room, but it's looking like it's going to be a quarter independent. that does not mean that donald trump -- obviously, florida is a republican state. but it does throw into kind of the air kind of what happens with particularly white and latino voters who may have in the last week to your point watched donald trump do some really strange, crude, odd things that i think this vermont republican governor also watched, and the people in the end who decide late going, there are some indications that late breakers are leaning toward harris. >> i think we should watch f
