Summary
Florida’s Revolutionary War story is often overlooked—but it’s wild: in 1776, the territory was two British colonies, East and West Florida, that stayed loyal to the Crown the whole time. No heavy taxes, British protection from Native tribes, and even a rejection of the First Continental Congress. East Florida even burned effigies of revolutionaries and repelled three invasions—all while flying the Union Jack. After the war, Florida briefly returned to Spain before becoming the 27th U.S. state in 1845. As America celebrates its 250th, it’s time to remember this unique, loyal chapter.
