well there's that

Maybe its just me, but calling it the "free state of Florida" is funny.  Florida was most definitely a slave state in the antebellum period.  

And while its nice that the gub-nor setup a commission (with our taxpayer dollars) to honor America's history, the results are kind of what you'd expect.  A lot of "history" distilled down to a sentence or two, with no hint of context, or any details.  And its very whitewashed.

For example, they note that Chief Osceola was the Indian chief known for his tactics in the second Seminole war, as he tried to protect his land; he was captured by trickery.  But they of course note the western name he was born with, and give no hint that the tribes were being brutally attacked and driven into reservations, so that settlers could move in ... And its done that way intentionally,

How about if we embrace actual history and move on?
