British East Florida and the Revolutionary War: The Untold Story of Britain's Fourteenth Colony (Dime Store History)

While the thirteen American colonies fought for independence, Britain’s forgotten fourteenth colony remained loyal to the Crown. In 1763, the Treaty of Paris transferred Florida from Spain to Great Britain, transforming a sparsely populated frontier into the colony of British East Florida. Centered around St. Augustine and stretching north along the King’s Road, East Florida became a refuge for Loyalists, a strategic military outpost, and a crucial stronghold during the American Revolution. As rebellion spread across the continent, East Florida stood apart. British officials, soldiers, Native allies, enslaved people seeking freedom, and displaced Loyalists all shaped the colony’s uncertain future while war raged to the north. British East Florida and the Revolutionary War uncovers the overlooked story of a colony caught between empires, revolution, and survival. Through vivid narrative, historical maps, and striking illustrations, Kevin Rose brings to life the dramatic events, people, and conflicts that helped influence the future of Florida and the young United States. Perfect for readers of Revolutionary War history, colonial America, and Florida’s forgotten past.
