St. Augustine ls the j oldest city In the United States. | There followed a period of hos tility between tho English col onists In thc Carolinas and the Spanish In Florida.

It remained an English colony un til the last years of tho Revolu tion when Spain recaptured lt. There wore two provinces, East and West Florida. AB the Spanish ruled Florida with a very looso form of government, this region became tho refuge of pirates, smugglers um' u wiese characters. Such an e ueut to gether with the unruly Somlnole Indians naturally caused a great deal of trouble.
