The chapter discusses how Florida′s experience with slavery from 1821 to 1865 evolved within an environment that was filled with the threat of race war, the actuality of race war, or the legacies of race war. Patterns of resistance that developed in the territory and state during that period also derived from that environment. It can be argued with credibility that the nation′s largest slave rebellion marked the midpoint of that era, an event so profound that no Floridian could have escaped its impact in one way or another. Known to history as the Second Seminole War, this significant but often neglected conflict came about through the leadership of maroons and was supported by hundreds of rebelling slaves. The major objective of Florida′s combatants involved not the complete overthrow of slavery but the safeguarding of individual and family freedom and of homes and homelands from white encroachment.
