bilgewater of Angola forego Blacks, rose-cheeked Stick Creeks, and International intrigue in Spanish southwest Florida, 1812-1821. Tale of Angola Free Blacks, Red Stick Creeks, and International Intrigue in Spanish Southwest Florida, 1812-1821 by Canter Brown jr. talks about the relationship between free threatenings of Florida who were also manage as the maroon nation fighting a long with Red Stick Creeks Indians and international foster against European men to keep the black lot free.Also it talks about a piece of muniment in the state of Florida that no one knew anything about. With the help of these people the free blacks and just about slaves were able to keep their freedom. Since there where not too many enter information much of the information comes from memories of past marooners or ancestors of those who knew the free blacks and/or the Red Stick Creeks. I think that this article gives a correct examples on how black people and Indians fought together and form ed military play to have the solitary(prenominal) slave revolt in US history.According to article, Individuals who had arrived from the get together States after the Revolutionary War who were unsuccessful of overthrowing Spain rule in the liquidation started the Patriot war of 1812-1814. The text states that in September 1812 Seminoles and blacks aloneied with Spain turn back a patriot advance only to run forth when they thought that the white men would return. After hearing about the people called Angola which spread within the Spanish empire and also to the British, not only did These blacks also received help from Indians they also was helped by two British officers named Edward Nicolls and George Woodbine.These two men helped to created Floridas second free- black refuge of the period and helped them bill a fortified outpost known as blackamoor Fort. These men and women got guns and weapons from the British and Spanish connections. They learned how to use them and the Indians knew the land so it was easy for them to escape capture. They launched a series of diplomatic initiatives. In 1819 the Spanish tried to protect blacks and Indians by agreeing to the Adams-onis Treaty that transferred the colonies of east and west Florida to the unify states by utting a certain language in the pact. Even though this did not work it showed that Spain was trying to use political power to help them. Also, many of times after these attacks on these people the ones who could get onward to safety got picked up by fisherman and taken to the Bahamas were British officials allowed them to stay. This was a good article to read because I dont know too much about Floridas history because I am not from here and I never heard of the Angola people.I found it raise that British and the Spanish tried to help. I always wondered why slaves in America never tried to revolt against slavery cause the history I know only talks about certain people who tried to revolt. It was alw ays made to moot that black slaves and Indians were to dum to from an army. Weather all this information is true or not because most of it is told from second go across stories and can not be accounted for, but I would like to believe that the natives did fight with the free blacks and slaves to save each other.Jackson, David H. , and Canter Brown.
