In the finale of this year’s Becoming Florida Brechner Series, scholars James G. Cusick, Ph.D., and Sherry Johnson, Ph.D., examine Andrew Jackson’s influence on Florida as our first American governor. They’ll also look at the early days of territorial Florida through the eyes of various observers and consider the longer-term effects of the 1821 change of flags from Spain to the United States. The speakers will draw in part from their 2016 book, Andrew Jackson in Florida, published by the Florida Historical Society Press.
