Chapter Eight: Appalachia and the Ozarks

Appalachia does not directly relate to Florida, however I will talk about early settlement in Florida, since this chapter talks about early settlement from Appalachia's European people.


Early Settlement in Florida:

Picture of: Juan Ponce de León


Juan Ponce de León was a Spanish explorer who explored the area where Florida is today in 1513. Florida was being held by colonial rule by both Spain as well as Great Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries. Soon after, in 1822, it became a territory of the United States and was fully considered a state in 1845.

Additionally, I noticed that one similarity in early settlement between Florida and Appalachia is the settlement of Europeans.
