  • East Florida was originally a part of Spanish Florida. Under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War, Spain ceded all of its territory east and southeast of the Mississippi River to the Kingdom of Great Britain. The British divided the territory into two parts, East Florida, with its capital at St. Augustine, and West Florida, with its capital at Pensacola. The settlement of the English colony at East Florida was heavily linked in London with the same interests that controlled Nova Scotia. The East Florida Society of London and the Nova Scotia Society of London had many overlapping members, and Council frequently followed their suggestions on the granting of lands to powerful merchant interests in London. "Perhaps it is strange to think of such dissimilar geographic areas with such opposing climates as having much in common," said the Florida Historical Quarterly. "But if one considers naval and military strategy, one can see that these areas have a common significance, especially when viewed from London by the ministry. Halifax (Nova Scotia) was the command post for both the admiral and general in charge of the American forces.... St. Augustine evoked the same strategic considerations. These posts have been described as the two centers of strength to which the British army was withdrawn in the late 1760's. " The apportionment of lands in the new colonies fell to the same group of English and Scottish entrepreneurs and merchant interests, led chiefly by the Englishman Richard Oswald, later a diplomat, and the British General James Grant, who would later become governor of East Florida. A list of the grantees in both Florida and Canada show that the plums fell to a well-connected -- and inter-connected -- group. Lincoln's Inn barrister Levett Blackborne, grandson of Sir Richard Levett, a powerful merchant and Lord Mayor of London, came in for grants of 20,000 acres (81 km) in both locales, for instance. Other aristocrats, nobles and merchants did the same. The most powerful lubricant between the East Florida speculators and the Nova Scotia speculators was Col. Thomas Thoroton of Flintham, Nottinghamshire. Thoroton, the stepbrother of Levett Blackborne, had married an illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Rutland and often lived at Belvoir Castle, where he acted as principal agent to the Duke, who, along with his son the Marquis of Granby, were heavily involved in overseas ventures. Thoroton frequently acted as the go-between for Richard Oswald and James Grant, particularly after those two gave up their Nova Scotia Grants to focus on East Florida, where a drumbeat of steady speculation (particularly from Dr. Andrew Turnbull and Dr. William Stork) had fanned the flames of interest in London. Both Floridas remained loyal to Great Britain during the American Revolutionary War. Spain participated indirectly in the war as an ally of France and captured Pensacola from the British in 1781. In the Treaty of Paris (1783), which ended the war, the British ceded both Floridas to Spain. The same treaty recognised the independence of the United States, directly to the north. Spain offered favorable terms for acquiring land, which attracted many settlers from the newly formed United States. There were several territorial disputes between the U.S. and Spain, some resulting in military action. An American army under Andrew Jackson invaded East Florida during the First Seminole War. Jackson's forces captured St. Mark's on April 7, 1818 and Pensacola on May 24, 1818. James Monroe's Secretary of State John Quincy Adams defined the American position on this issue. Adams accused Spain of breaking Pinckney's Treaty by failing to control the Seminoles. Faced with the prospect of losing control, Spain formally ceded all of its Florida territory to the U.S. under the Adams-Onís Treaty in 1819 (ratified in 1821) in exchange for the U.S. ceding its claims on Texas and the U.S. paying any claims its citizens might have against Spain up to $5,000,000. In 1822, the U.S. Congress organized the Florida Territory, and in 1845, Florida was admitted as the 27th state.
  • Ostflorida war ursprünglich ein Teil der spanischen Kolonie Florida. Nach den Bedingungen des Vertrags von Paris (1763), der den Siebenjährigen Krieg beendete, trat Spanien seine gesamten Territorien östlich und südöstlich des Mississippi River an das Königreich Großbritannien ab. Großbritannien trennte das Gebiet in zwei Teile, Ostflorida mit seiner Hauptstadt St. Augustine und Westflorida mit seiner Hauptstadt Pensacola. Beide Floridas blieben während des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges Großbritannien gegenüber loyal. Spanien nahm als Verbündeter Frankreichs ebenfalls an diesem Krieg teil und nahm 1781 Pensacola in Westflorida ein. Im Frieden von Paris, der den Krieg beendete, trat Großbritannien beide Floridas an Spanien ab. Spanien bot hervorragende Bedingungen für den Erwerb von Land, was viele Siedler aus den neu gebildeten Vereinigten Staaten anlockte. Es gab mehrere Gebietsstreitigkeiten zwischen den USA und Spanien, von denen einige zu militärischen Aktionen führten. Eine US-amerikanische Armee unter Andrew Jackson fiel während des Ersten Seminolenkrieges in Ostflorida ein. Jacksons Streitkräfte nahmen St. Marks am 7. April 1818 und Pensacola am 24. Mai 1818 ein. James Monroes Außenminister John Quincy Adams legte die US-amerikanische Position zu diesen Thema fest. Adams beschuldigte die Spanier des Bruchs des Pinckney-Vertrages von 1795, weil sie es nicht schafften, die Seminolen unter Kontrolle zu halten. Im Adams-Onís-Vertrag von 1819 trat Spanien seine Gebiete in Florida an die USA ab. 1822 bildete der US-Kongress aus Ostflorida das Territorium Florida, 1845 wurde Florida als 27. Staat in die Union aufgenommen. Siehe auch: Westflorida, Geschichte Floridas, Spanische Kolonialisierung Amerikas
  • La Floride Orientale faisait à l'origine partie de la Floride espagnole. Selon les termes du Traité de Paris de 1763, qui mit fin à la Guerre de Sept Ans, l'Espagne cédait tout le territoire situé à l'est et au sud-est du Mississippi au Royaume de Grande-Bretagne. Les Britanniques, par la proclamation royale de 1763, divisèrent le territoire en deux parties, la Floride Orientale, avec comme capitale Saint Augustine, et la Floride Occidentale, avec comme capitale Pensacola.
  • La Florida orientale (East Florida) era in origine una parte della Florida spagnola. Secondo le clausole del Trattato di Parigi (1763), che concluse la guerra dei sette anni, la Spagna cedette tutti i suoi territori ad est e sudest del fiume Mississippi al Regno di Gran Bretagna. I Britannici divisero il territorio in due parti, la Florida orientale, con capitale St. Augustine, e la Florida occidentale, con capitale Pensacola. Entrambe le Floride rimasero leali alla Gran Bretagna durante la guerra d'indipendenza americana. La Spagna partecipò indirettamente alla guerra come alleata della Francia e catturò Pensacola ai britannici nel 1781. Nel trattato di Parigi (1783), che concluse la guerra, i britannici cedettero entrambe le Floride alla Spagna. La Spagna offrì favorevoli termini per l'acquisto di terreno, fatto che attrasse numerosi coloni dagli Stati Uniti (di recente formazione). Accaddero numerose dispute territoriali tra gli USA e la Spagna. Un'armata americana sotto il comando di Andrew Jackson invase la Florida orientale durante la prima guerra Seminole. Le forze di Jackson conquistarono St. Mark il 7 aprile 1818 e Pensacola il 24 maggio 1818. Adams accusò la Spagna di aver infranto il Trattato Pinckney fallendo nel controllo dei Seminole. Temendo in prospettiva di perdere il controllo, la Spagna cedette tutto il territorio della Florida agli Stati Uniti con il Trattato Adams-Onís nel 1819 (ratificato nel 1821). In cambio gli Usa fecero cadere le proprie richieste sul Texas e pagarono $ 5.000.000. Nel 1822, il Congresso degli Stati Uniti organizzò il Territorio della Florida, e nel 1845, la Florida venne ammessa come 27° stato.
  • 東フロリダ(East Florida)はもともとスペイン領フロリダの一部であった。七年戦争を終わらせたパリ条約 (1763年)の条項のもと、スペインはイギリスにミシシッピ川の東と南東のその領地のすべてを割譲した。 イギリスは領地を二つに分割し、東フロリダの首都をセントオーガスティン、西フロリダの首都をペンサコラとした。 両フロリダともアメリカ独立戦争の間は英国側に付いた。スペインはフランスの同盟として戦争に間接的に加わり、1781年にペンサコラをイギリスから奪い返した。戦後のパリ条約 (1783年)で、イギリスは両フロリダをスペインに割譲した。 スペインは土地を手に入れるための好条件を提供し、それは新たに作られた合衆国からの多くの入植者を惹き付けた。合衆国とスペインの間には領土の紛争がいくつかあり、時には軍事行動も引き起こした。アンドリュー・ジャクソン率いるアメリカ軍は第一次セミノール戦争中に東フロリダに侵略した。ジャクソンの軍は1818年4月7日にセントマークスを、同年5月24日にはペンサコラを占領した。ジェームズ・モンローの国務長官、ジョン・クインシー・アダムズは、この問題での合衆国の立場を定義した。アダムズはセミノールの支配に失敗したことでピンクニー条約を破ったスペインを非難した。支配を失う見通しに直面したスペインは、1819年のアダムズ=オニス条約(1821年批准)でフロリダの領地すべてを正式に合衆国に割譲し、その交換として合衆国は、居住者の主張する合計500万ドルの補償金をスペイン政府に対して支払うことと、テキサスのサビン川以西の地域を放棄することとなった。
