Excerpt from Mississippi Provincial Archives, Vol. 1: 1763-1766
The occupation of that territory, and the organization of local government, marks the beginning of English dominion in what is now the lower South. It began in 1763 and ended in 1781, the most interesting period of American colonial history. The English colonists of West Florida came in closer touch with French and Spanish civilization than those along the Atlantic Coast, and the impress Of the Latins upon them is Worthy of the most painstaking study.
