Your previous Creek Civil War post pulled me in deeper. This summer I found another interesting aspect. I was hunting historic markers in New Smyrna Beach, Fl. and found one that mentioned the "Patriots Rebellion". When I returned home I was researching a Darien, Ga. marker for John Houston McIntosh, "Governor or Director of the Republic of Florida" in 1812. It turns out that the US tried a quasi-official takeover of East Florida from the Spanish. It was repulsed by a coalition similar to the one that ousted the British from New Orleans, Spanish, Seminoles and a Black militia unit. The Arlington National Cemetery website has a good background on it: http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/jwill.htm<br /><br />KeithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
