"In 1763, European conflict eventuated in La Florida being transferred to England.
Just 20 years later, in 1783, Florida was returned to Spain.
In 1821, 38 years later, Spain gave Florida to the U.S. in exchange for paying off Spain’s $5 million in international debt 🤯. Florida became a U.S. territory." — 15 hours, 23 min ago

These people helped build the framework that we now stand on. We should be careful about burning it down.”
