Richmond was a peaceful, prosperous, sophisticated and charming City. There was a fashionable society of wealthy plantation owners who enjoyed the “good life.†Then it became the Capital of the Confederacy in 1961. As such, it brought hordes of soldiers and all of their camp followers; gamblers, thieves, prostitutes, disreputable people and crime of all descriptions. Compound that situation with population explosion, housing shortages, a shrinking economy, shortages of food and other necessities, lawlessness, inflation and you have a recipe for disaster. |

Join Emmett Coyne for two sessions discussing slavery as one of the key issues that has shaped America. The Preamble had four objectives. One was "to ensure domestic tranquility."
The Founding Fathers, in sanctioning slavery, ensured not tranquility as tension. The subject of slavery is not for children primarily as adults. Most adults have little to poor analysis of slavery in school, yet we experience its effects today. The future is in our hands, not ignorance or denial. |

What happened from 1763 until 1784 heavily impacted what we now know as Florida. The people who came here, the state’s heritage of bloody violence, its reputation as a place that was a last resort to live, all were part of the little understood events occurring then. It created an Indian nation, intrigues and wars that lasted 40 years, and an era of uncertainty and poverty for its inhabitants that lingered until WWII. Learn about corduroy roads, Indigo production, and many other interesting, little know information, about this period from Havlin’s presentation. |
