In the 1980s, confronted by severe problems created by one hundred years of drainage and flood control in Florida, public officials realized a new policy, while continuing to provide flood protection, must protect the environment and wildlife. This involved restoring the natural water flows to wildlife refuges, Everglades National Park, and other wetland areas.

Show moreIn the 1980s, confronted by severe problems created by one hundred years of drainage and flood control in Florida, public officials realized a new policy, while continuing to provide flood protection, must protect the environment and wildlife. This involved restoring the natural water flows to wildlife refuges, Everglades National Park, and other wetland areas. New legislation controlling the water supply, water quality, and the wetlands was passed. The Save Our Everglades program proposed to restore the Everglades (the Kissimmee River Basin, Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades) to look and function more as it did in 1900 than in 1983 when the program was initiated. Problems, primarily caused by increasing population and agriculture, continued to thwart restoration efforts.

The election of 1948 helped to bring about a dramatic turning point in Florida politics. Prior to this time, Florida was arbitrarily dominated by the Democratic party. This election is significant because 1948 helped give rise to the reemergence of a two-party political system in Florida. It was in 1948 that the Republicans began their long rise out of obscurity. The Dixiecrats and Progressive parties were also active in this campaign. This paper will examine the activities of each of these...

This paper will examine the activities of each of these four political parties within the state during 1948 and attempt to show how this political rebirth contributed to alter Florida politics.

Show moreThe social, economic, and political changes created by the Meiji Restoration triggered Japanese emigration. Economically distressed farmers, planning on staying in America a short time, accounted for most of the Japanese on the Pacific Coast. Most history of Japanese immigration to America focuses on the Pacific states and their anti-Japanese stance. Florida's Japanese colony, Yamato, however, presents a different perspective of the Japanese immigrant experience in two ways. Instead of farmers, Yamato's first settlers included college-educated, ex-samurai men who came to America with every intention of staying. These men shared a common vision based on the unique Christian education that they had received at Kyoto's Doshisha College. At odds with the political conservatism Japan adopted in the mid-1890s, these young men hoped to build new lives in America. Secondly, in the beginning, Florida, a newly developing state, warmly welcomed and supported the establishment of Japanese colonies in the state.

One of the first accomplishments of the Planning Board was to contract with prominent city planner John Nolen to re-design West Palm Beach. As Nolen conducted his surveys and prepared a general plan, various political machinations in the city frustrated the planning process. Nolen's plans were never implemented because of the Florida land boom of the 1920s and because of the city's lack of commitment to planning.

As Nolen conducted his surveys and prepared a general plan, various political machinations in the city frustrated the planning process. Nolen's plans were never implemented because of the Florida land boom of the 1920s and because of the city's lack of commitment to planning. West Palm Beach in the 1920s was a mix of planning advocates and developers. With reckless capitalistic zeal, subdividers shaped the physical structure of West Palm Beach with only the most primitive of plans. The Planning Board was only an advisory panel and lacked the ability to enforce planning decisions. There was little public support for the city to have strong police powers over private property. The city adopted zoning regulations in 1926 when zoning consultant, Robert Whitten, drafted a zoning law based on legal precedents. (Abstract shortened with permission of author.)

The library received a Herculean task: to design and implement a new system while establishing a collection. Administrators, educators, and students came to FAU to take part in a different concept in education, a place where advanced technology would be merged into the learning process, but they brought traditional views and values. Despite the best of intentions and bold prognostications, insufficient funding and the ingrained ideas of its users prevented the realization of the library's potential.

Show moreThe history of automobile insurance in Florida provides a case study of economic adaptation to the negative consequences of rapid technological change. The emergence of the automobile in early twentieth century Florida brought with it widespread bodily injury and property damage. The insurance industry and the state government interacted for several decades in trying to fashion a way of reducing the economic cost of automobile accidents. Florida resisted a comprehensive application of insurance to the problem until 1971, when it passed the Florida Automobile Reparations Reform Act. Had Florida acted sooner, the economic impact of automobile accidents could have been greatly mitigated.

Seasonal activity in the Town of Palm Beach created a unique environment for the men who worked as police officers. Even though the town incorporated in 1911, year-round law enforcement consisted of one man, Joseph Borman, for the first ten years. Borman's interaction with the town's founding fathers, before and after incorporation, played a significant role in how council members dealt with law enforcement on the island. Despite the pressures of policing an area many of the world's wealthiest people called home at least part of the year, Chief Borman insisted on courteous professionalism from his officers. This helped the Palm Beach Police Department overcome the death of two police officers, terrible hurricanes, Prohibition, and the inevitable growing pains experienced adjusting to new technologies and social pressures. The department continues to exemplify Borman's high standards.

Noted for his personal generosity toward residents, Clark became politically powerful in the state and used his influence to provide economic benefits for the county. He also permitted illegal gambling because it provided revenue and jobs for residents. After the Second World War, many residents wanted illegal gambling to end. Clark was suspended from office by Governor Fuller Warren after a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee investigation exposed his ownership of the Broward Novelty Company, which allegedly owned slot machines and administrated an illegal lottery.

The area researched is nineteenth century Dade County which extended from the St. Lucie River south to Indian Key. Dade County women and women's groups were instrumental in transforming the wilderness settlements into communities through the establishment of comfortable homes, public schools, churches, libraries, and community service organizations. Of particular importance, the thesis studies the change in lifestyles as women adapted to the new subtropical environment. Also examined are the three centers of pioneer population (Lake Worth, Biscayne Bay, and Fort Lauderdale) and the individual women who contributed to these settlements.

Fallacies over the exact nature of many Bahamian structures have dominated many discourses on this subject. By tracing the direct line of influence, using old, colonial structures these mistakes can be rectified. The loyalists managed to reshape the Bahamian capital of Nassau and develop many of the small Out Islands. Although their influence lasted only a short while, the loyalists altered the nature of the identity of the Bahamian people.

The last chapters concern the actual relations between blacks and poor whites. Reasons for the inability of these two groups to ally and cooperate lie in the low opinion each had for the other and the inability of poor whites to allow the Negro a measure of equality. For the poor white the Negro was too much a threat as an equal. As a result violence, intimidation and suppression were practiced by poor whites against blacks and their white Republican allies, until the South was finally redeemed by white Democrats and southern demagogues.

Prior to 1950, Cocoa Beach was a typical small coastal community. However, with the establishment of missile launching facilities at nearby Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach rode atop a great wave of growth and prosperity for two decades. National space efforts pumped millions of dollars into the Cape Canaveral area. As a result, the City of Cocoa Beach and other Brevard communities became inextricably dependent on Federal dollars. Massive cutbacks in space appropriations, beginning in 1968, forced the City of Cocoa Beach to diversify. After a brief period of economic hardship, Cocoa Beach evolved into a tourist and retirement mecca.
