Description: Florida was acquired by the British through diplomacy in 1763 as a spoil of war. This study looks at how politicians, entrepreneurs and government officials achieved or failed to achieve their ambitions in West Florida, whether the province as a whole was economically viable, and whether the generally held belief that West Florida was an economic failure is a fair judgement.
