A few mistakes here. First, Florida was not ceded to the United States, it was sold. Second, the Seminoles in the Everglades were never removed, they were the only Native American group to never surrender to the US government, and are still there to this day. Third, Disney is not the largest employer in the state, Publix is.

As someone who lives in Florida, this video on the history of Florida brightens up my day. Thank you, Knowledgia.🙂👍

You forgot to mention the evolution of “The Florida Man”

Fun Fact: In the navy, every state had a ship named for them. In our case, we had the USS Florida, a dreadnought battleship commissioned in 1911. Her design, while an improvement on the previous Delaware class of dreadnought battleships, was not succeeded in full potential until the invention of the New York class, which introduced 14-inch naval guns to the equation, compared to Florida's 12-inch barrels. She saw service at Veracruz in the aftermath of the Tampico Incident of 1914, sending her marines ashore. After this, she saw service in WWI, operating with the British Grand Fleet at Scapa Flow. She later escorted convoys with the New York class battleship Texas, and would later see service in the Azores with her sister Utah. Under the terms of the London Naval Treaty of 1930, which limited the amount of ships wider world powers could have, she was scrapped after a twenty year long service life. Her bell, (considered the heart or soul of a ship,) was preserved, and can still be seen at the Museum of Florida History in Tallahassee.

Florida and Texas literally seem like their own countries with such a rich history

Proud Floridian born and raised. My mother's family came from Cuba escaping Fidel in 1966. Thank you so much for dedicating a video on our beautiful home. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

As a man who has lived his entire life in Florida, thank you for this nice video😊.

I'm French, and my ancestor, Jean Ribault, a French Huguenot, founded in 1562 the first ever protestant settlement in the new world: Fort Caroline, in modern-day Jacksonville, FL.

1. Many thanks to the Spanish for discovering Easter in 1498 and building the first settlement (San Agustin) in the United States in 1565. 2. Curiosity: The first Thanksgiving was in San Agustín, Florida, Viceroyalty of New Spain/Mexico, Spain in the year 1565 between Spaniards and Tequestas. 3. 8:14 - Spanish Nutka left the chat:

I think its pretty interesting that the 3 richest and most populous states today are all former spanish territories.

You didn’t mention that Florida has a lot of beautiful ecotourism also. Even before Disney came to the sunshine state, tourists flocked here for the beaches yeah, but also for much of the beauty inland as well. There are many state parks, in fact the acquired acreage of Florida state parks makes up more land mass than the state of Maryland with over 800 million acres. The Ocala National Forest makes up about a half million of those acres alone and the Everglades National park has over one million acres of wetlands. There are some of the most gorgeous springs located in and around Ocala, Florida. The most famous, Silver Springs park is still operational and a good place to see animals in their natural habitat, unlike Disney, with their fake rubber animals. Silver Springs was taken over by the state parks, but the private park still operates within the state park, which includes the beautiful silver river. It is a spring fed river that is crystal clear for 6 miles and is 30 to 40 foot deep in most areas. There is still the Weeki Wachee state park that still operates with its underwater amphitheater, where women in mermaid costumes put on a show in the main spring head. The water is crystal clear and you can watch the mermaid show through huge glass panels in the underground theater that peeks into the spring. There is always so much to see in Florida and the state has one of the richest and most diverse wildlife population of any other state. People have been vacationing in Florida for over two hundred years and still do. There are far more attractions for those who like ecotourism and want to escape the Disney crowd, while still enjoying your vacation time.

Lets go! Prepared for GTA 6 ,

"No major Civil War Battles were fought in Florida" Battle of Olustee: do I look like a joke to you?

I live in Florida and I wish everybody would just go back to where they came from because it's getting overpopulated overcrowded our rent prices are going up our little secret about how wonderful it is to live here is out and now we are so overcrowded that I can't take it!

Knowlogia explaing the history of USA :11 min Knowlogia explaing the history of Florida (A USA state) 17 min. …

Henry Flagler did not get a mention. He built the railroad all the way to Key Largo and cities such as Palm Beach. He created the boom of the 1920s.

People forget Pensacola was actually established before St.Augustine in 1559

My ancestors moved to Florida in 1822. Only one year after the Spanish ceded florida.

My wife’s family is Roman Catholic.. I always wondered, but I supposed her forefathers fled to Florida and converted. We live in Tallahassee not too far from Apalachee parkway. It’s amazing how much history is here

Yes the "burring" land bridge cuz it was ❄️😅

Great story and video. You are just missing the fact that Pensacola was actually America’s first settlement, six or so years prior to Saint Augustine.

As a Florida Native with ancestors dating back to the 1820’s, this video is pretty accurate. Sadly, we are losing our farms no thanks to Over Development and our Historic location and buildings such as a all black cemetery somewhere in the Tampa Bay Area that I have heard about in local news are getting harder and harder to protect and our Confederate Statues, Graves and so on or being torn down, moved to another location or vandalized.

greetings from Florida 😊

Informative and wonderful historical coverage video about Florida state... Thank you for sharing

Florida is a fun living state by the way and the history of it is wonderful and yeah that there is a famous NBA team which is Miami Heat,good friends!!!LONG LIVES RESPECTIVELY TO FLORIDA AND UNITED STATES ON THE WHOLE,GOOD FRIENDS!!!🇺🇲

WAIT! So sea levels have been rising and falling BEFORE humans came along? I thought WE were causing sea levels to rise?

Watching from Florida ❤!

Just a quick note: horses originally existed in the Americas but died out around 10,000 years ago. Around 1519 when the Spanish first came over was when horses arrived. Recent archeological evidence suggest that horses spread North via trade routes a full 100 year prior than originally thought

Huge fan here. Can you Do a video on Dominican independence wars ? no one ever covers it.

Florida is one of the most strategic positions in the Caribbean. So many different empires have trued to grab it, Spain, Britain, US and even the Confederate Golden Circle

Pensacola FL is the first settlement of North America, Spain King and Queen escaped during the war in their own country. A church was built in Pensacola on spring Street. Where a spring flows during that time the spring was a life source of fresh water. Ship builders built the church. Inside the church looking up you can see that it's a ship turned upside down. The king and Queen gave that church a silver cross. Which is still there today. Today,At times the king and Queen return to the church to view the cross and receive blessings. Just a nugget of information.

I really liked your video sir👍👍. Also, please make a video on the history of the states of India amd China and also other countries you want to talk about!👍

Your missing one event in Florida that changed it's economy big time. The cocaine boom

the only thing I know is S P A I N

I'm born n raised here in FLORIDA AND I LOVE IT!!!! NO OTHER STATE CAN COMPARE! American Italian babyyyy!

Anyone from japan🇯🇵 👀 🤔

Okay, so is RealLifeLore writing your scripts now?? Even down to the inflection!! This narrator feels like a cross do “RealLifeLore” and “Kings and Generals”

Need to give Pensacola its respect

Florida became very important

Not a word about florida man....i guess he is part of the future

8:10 BRTITISH CANADA 😂

We learnt thanks

You've come along way Florida. Thank God for that. Florida is possibly the grooviest State in the US now.

I was born abd raised there and my family's history here goes back to 1890's. Everyone please, PLEASE stop moving here. We are full!

I just love history. Im living here now and this was quite interesting.

Floridain here, and if you're interested in Florida early history, there is book called Florida's First Peoples by Robin C Brown.

I love that you put Port Saint Lucie where West Palm Beach usually is on the map lol my small town is growing

Love my home, The State of Florida! Only 33% of the population are Florida natives.

Thank you for showing my states history

heck, this was great. Can you make history of slovakia? im slovak-russian so i want to know.

Is it a good idea to train soldiers in tropical florida for battle in europe?

Pensacola is America’s first settlement. Far before St. Augustine. The distinction is Pensacola was wiped out by a hurricane but it is far older historically as a settlement.

Ever do one of jersey?

You forgot De Lunas fleet and Pensacola's brief original founding, and the brief French control

😂 to comical you a crazy 🤪 and repeat the ingles 😂 saludos Iberoamerica❤

Can you make a video about the european countries pls?

Now do New Jersey please 🙏🏼

You're missing the settlement of the French Huguenots in Jacksonville at Ft Caroline prior to the Spanish in St Augustine

No mention on how Florida's population boom was driven by the state being one of the few with a proper response to Covid-19.

I live in FL have been to st Augustine, there is a Spanish fort still standing that has cannons from 200 years ago still on the fort, the cannon have latin on them and there’s even a chapel for prayer in the fort

You also got the British and Spanish Empire transaction wrong. In 1763, Cuba was in British hands after winning it in the 7 years war. Spain traded Florida to Britain for Cuba.

Publix employs several times the amount of working people as the Land of Mickey Mouse

Rememberin the old light house beach at Key Biscayne before it got modernized-

Im sorry so much of what was left of Old Florida is gone or re-done, like the beautiful old lighthouse beach at Key Biscayne so small and beautiful with the gentle surf and

It's been recently proven that Pensacola was settled in 1559 several years before St. Augustine.

Many of my friends moved to Florida during COVID and according to them, its the greatest place in America.

6:46 something a lot of people don't seem to know is that horses evolved here in North America and 1 our ancestors were coming across the Bering land bridge horses were going the other direction and it's a good thing they did because they later became extinct here in North America and only returned once the Spanish arrived or there would be no horses anywhere in the world

I been at Florida at quicy world 🌍

The greatest state

so ur telling me alligator vs man has a history?

Neat

Beautiful Florida, the only place I would visit in the States.

Seminoles are still here, they never lost the war.

Both my Mothers and Fathers familys came to Florida in the early 1930's. Settling in the St Pete area

Florida mentioned let’s go

Another mistake, Pensacola is older than St Augistine.

Pensacola has entered the chat.

12:11 .. is that the first Griddy?

I live in shouthern florida

Florida, the state that flies Spain's battle flag. The same flag flies in Puerto Rico by its 1st governor, Don Juan Ponce de Leon.

Pensacola is the first settlement of European North America, in 1559, 6 years before st Augustine

florida my entire life wonderful state great quick show of our history ssj

Born and raised in Florida. Never do I see myself moving from this state.

SPANISH that's all spainnn

Real Talk

Heugnot!?!? This programming is so fictional. I love yall

Being a CFI, you would think that even if he didn’t want to second guess a dominant PIC, he woulda chose to stay on the ground…

Short play list of pre-Colombian America using DNA markers and linguistics: ukposts.info/slow/PL1v9pqs4w1mzCLWAyzc3Kz_vw0RQPmqa_&si=s4wkG_75ONfESZ7S They have a longer playlist that goes more into depth. It would be neat to see more Florida tribes join in the research.

You should specify 'killed by'.

"Burring" land bridge? I've never heard anyone, especially a North American, pronounce it like that, lol.

No mention of the cattle industry that was huge in Florida at the end of the 19th century.

While they may have crossed into AK via a land bridge the Clovis weren't the first people in America. There are at least 4 sites with remains/evidence dating back 130k years not just the textbook 12k.

Do Georgia

As a Floridian myself, I have gone to Disney twice in the 10 years of living here

Ponte de Leon probably found a Portuguese who was speaking Spanish. The Portuguese were in North America before all other Europeans, except the Vikings.

I’ve heard this narrator voice before any have any idea who he is ? Or if this is an Ai generated voice ? Thanks !!

Great video but you merged Fort Pierce & Port St Lucie into one town

The battle of olustee was during the civil war.

Pensacola is the first settlement.
