The region became a haven for escaped slaves and a base for Indian attacks against U.S. territories, and the U.S. pressed Spain for reform. Americans of <a href="/wiki/English_Americans" title="English Americans">English</a> and <a href="/wiki/Scotch-Irish_Americans" title="Scotch-Irish Americans">Scots Irish descent</a> began moving into northern Florida from the backwoods of <a href="/wiki/Georgia_(U.S._state)" title="Georgia (U.S. state)">Georgia</a> and <a href="/wiki/South_Carolina" title="South Carolina">South Carolina</a>. Though technically not allowed by the government authorities, they were never able to effectively police the border region and the backwoods settlers from the United States would continue to immigrate into Florida unchecked. These migrants, mixing with the already present British settlers who had remained in Florida since the British period, would be the progenitors of the population known as <a href="/wiki/Florida_Cracker" class="mw-redirect" title="Florida Cracker">Florida Crackers</a>.<a href="#cite_note-35">[34]</a> These American settlers established a permanent foothold in the area. The British settlers who had remained also resented Spanish governance, leading to a rebellion in 1810 and the establishment for ninety days of the so-called Free and Independent <a href="/wiki/Republic_of_West_Florida" title="Republic of West Florida">Republic of West Florida</a> on September 23. After meetings beginning in June, rebels overcame the garrison at <a href="/wiki/Baton_Rouge,_Louisiana" title="Baton Rouge, Louisiana">Baton Rouge</a> (now in <a href="/wiki/Louisiana" title="Louisiana">Louisiana</a>) and unfurled the flag of the new republic: a single white star on a blue field. This flag would later become known as the "<a href="/wiki/Bonnie_Blue_Flag" class="mw-redirect" title="Bonnie Blue Flag">Bonnie Blue Flag</a>". In 1810, parts of West Florida were annexed by the proclamation of President <a href="/wiki/James_Madison" title="James Madison">James Madison</a>, who claimed the region as part of the <a href="/wiki/Louisiana_Purchase" title="Louisiana Purchase">Louisiana Purchase</a>. These parts were incorporated into the newly formed <a href="/wiki/Territory_of_Orleans" title="Territory of Orleans">Territory of Orleans</a>. The U.S. annexed the Mobile District of West Florida to the <a href="/wiki/Mississippi_Territory" title="Mississippi Territory">Mississippi Territory</a> in 1812. Spain continued to dispute the area, though the United States gradually increased the area it occupied. In 1812, a group of settlers from Georgia, with de facto support from the U.S. federal government, attempted to overthrow the Floridan government in the province of East Florida. The settlers hoped to convince Floridians to join their cause and proclaim independence from Spain, but the settlers lost their tenuous support from the federal government and abandoned their cause by 1813.<a href="#cite_note-36">[35]</a> Traditionally, historians argued that <a href="/wiki/Seminole" title="Seminole">Seminoles</a> based in <a href="/wiki/East_Florida" title="East Florida">East Florida</a> began raiding Georgia settlements and offering havens for runaway slaves.

class="mw-redirect" title="Slave state">slave state</a> and no longer a sanctuary for runaway slaves. Initially its population grew slowly.<a href="#cite_note-45">[44]</a> As European settlers continued to encroach on Seminole lands, the United States intervened to move the remaining Seminoles to the West. The <a href="/wiki/Third_Seminole_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Third Seminole War">Third Seminole War</a> (1855–1858) resulted in the <a href="/wiki/Trail_of_Tears" title="Trail of Tears">forced removal</a> of most of the remaining Seminoles, although hundreds of Seminole Indians remained in the Everglades.<a href="#cite_note-46">[45]</a> The first settlements and towns in South Florida were founded much later than those in the northern part of the state. The first permanent European settlers arrived in the early 19th century.

Some accepted Spanish land offers along the Miami River. At about the same time, the <a href="/wiki/Seminole" title="Seminole">Seminole</a> Indians arrived, along with a group of runaway slaves. The area was affected by the <a href="/wiki/Second_Seminole_War" title="Second Seminole War">Second Seminole War</a>, during which Major <a href="/wiki/William_S._Harney" title="William S.

It was the most devastating Indian war in American history, causing almost a total loss of population in Miami. After the Second Seminole War ended in 1842, William English re-established a plantation started by his uncle on the <a href="/wiki/Miami_River_(Florida)" title="Miami River (Florida)">Miami River</a>. He charted the "Village of Miami" on the south bank of the Miami River and sold several plots of land. In 1844, Miami became the county seat, and six years later a census reported there were ninety-six residents in the area.<a href="#cite_note-47">[46]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Seminole_Wars#Third_Seminole_War" title="Seminole Wars">Third Seminole War</a> was not as destructive as the second, but it slowed the settlement of southeast Florida.

The Confederacy received little military help from Florida; the 15,000 troops it offered were generally sent elsewhere. Instead of troops and manufactured goods, Florida did provide salt and, more importantly, beef to feed the Confederate armies.

From the 1930s through much of the 1960s, Florida was essentially a one-party state dominated by white conservative Democrats, who together with other Democrats of the <a href="/wiki/Solid_South" title="Solid South">Solid South</a>, exercised considerable control in Congress. They have gained slightly less federal money from national programs than they have paid in taxes.<a href="#cite_note-207">[205]</a> Since the 1970s, conservative white voters in the state have largely shifted from the Democratic to the Republican Party. Though the majority of registered voters in Florida were Democrats,<a href="#cite_note-208">[206]</a> it continued to support Republican presidential candidates through 2004, except in <a href="/wiki/1976_United_States_presidential_election" title="1976 United States presidential election">1976</a> and <a href="/wiki/1996_United_States_presidential_election" title="1996 United States presidential election">1996</a>, when the Democratic nominee was from <a href="/wiki/Southern_United_States" title="Southern United States">the South</a>.

The first post-<a href="/wiki/Reconstruction_era" title="Reconstruction era">Reconstruction era</a> Republican elected to Congress from Florida was <a href="/wiki/William_C._Cramer" title="William C.

In this period, African Americans were still <a href="/wiki/Disfranchisement_after_Reconstruction_era" class="mw-redirect" title="Disfranchisement after Reconstruction era">disenfranchised</a> by the state's constitution and discriminatory practices; in the 19th century, they had made up most of the Republican Party. Cramer built a different Republican Party in Florida, attracting local white conservatives and transplants from northern and midwestern states. In 1966, <a href="/wiki/Claude_R._Kirk_Jr." title="Claude R. Kirk Jr.">Claude R.

Florida is sometimes considered a bellwether state in presidential elections because every candidate who won the state from 1996 until 2016 won the election.<a href="#cite_note-212">[210]</a> The 2020 election broke that streak when <a href="/wiki/Donald_Trump" title="Donald Trump">Donald Trump</a> won Florida but lost the election.

Because of this, the area has consistently voted as one of the most Democratic areas of the state. The Daytona Beach area is similar demographically and the city of Orlando has a large Hispanic population, which has often favored Democrats. Republicans, made up mostly of white conservatives, have dominated throughout much of the rest of Florida, including Jacksonville and the panhandle and particularly in the more rural and suburban areas.
