The Evacuation of South Florida, 1704-1760
60th annual Southeastern Archaeological Conference (Charlotte, North Carolina, 11/2003)
11/13/2003
Abstract
The fall of Spanish Florida's western mission chain between 1704 and 1706 brought the ravages of the English-sponsored Indian slave trade into South Florida, which had previously remained isolated from intensive European contact for more than a century. The peninsula was quickly evacuated, with Indian refugees coalescing both to the south around present-day Miami and the Florida Keys and to the north around St. Augustine. Final remnants of both groups independently settled in Cuba in 1760 and 1763, leaving the entire southern peninsula under Creek domination. This paper presents newly-discovered details and ongoing analysis of this process.
