That's why when out of state people say "oh, Florida's not the South", well, a part of it sure is up there. I live in the Tampa area but I do enjoy going up to the ol' Handle from time to time. It's like a different world from Central/South FL.
Hit the nail right on the head northern Florida and the panhandle at least from a colonial perspective is the original Florida and it contains Much of the states history. It’s a reason why the capital is in the north and not in the southern half.
St Augustine, JAX, WPB, Miami, Ft Lauderdale, Tampa, Ft Myers were the first European settlements. And Pensacola via the Gulf. So the Panhandle is not even close to being the original Florida.
The way you pronounced conquistadores was the way we said it in grade school in Pennsylvania. Very cute. I now know it's not the way they say it in Spain!
Very interesting history that most people have no idea about! It should be notes that Coastal Mississippi and the Florida Parishes of Louisiana long ago did became more French, Creole and other Catholic European (Including significant ethnic Spanierd decent from parts of Southern Louisiana!) influenced, having spread eastward from Louisiana almost to Mobile, compared to the Southern Alabama or Florida Panhandle which became more typically deep South even as the whole region has a uneque residual Spanish (and some French!) influence.
Interesting video but I’ve been all through the Florida panhandle, never felt like I was in Alabama, felt like I was just in the Florida panhandle. Just like when in the Florida Keys, it’s not the same as Orlando, Tampa, Miami etc. Alabama has a lot of poverty, a different vibe there once you cross over from Florida.
As someone who's traveled extensively in his job and owns a home in Florida as well as Ohio, I can say there is a huge difference culturally between say Charleston, SC and SW Florida. My wife loves the low country of South Carolina but all that culture is quickly fading away with the once Industrialized Northerners moving South and thanks to modern conveniences like air conditioning. When I was a kid, Florida was a vacation destination with most of the Population in the major cities. Many parts of Florida were just not comfortable with the heat, pests, etc. I tell people you can thank Carrier, Trane, Lennox Corporations for making Southern Florida tolerable in the Summer. Do you think for a minute granny and grandpappy with their large sums of dough in the bank would live in Florida sweating their asses off in 100 plus temps? I wouldn't...
Nice history lesson. I’ve never been to the panhandle, but I’ve always pictured it in my head as being part of the Deep South, whereas I don’t picture the rest of Florida that way.
Those Spainard & French ppl always wanted to take over the Indian lands. But, Mexico wasn't having it winning the war called "Cinco de Mayo" today yes indeed! "Let My People Go"
I always felt like Georgia Alabama South Carolina and North Carolina Was like a extended florida to me lol Almost like there next door neighbors considering how mad close there are to florida. I’m glad eye ain’t the only one
@@Illmaticgraphics850 St Augustine, Jacksonville, and SW Florida were the first European settlements. St Augustine and JAX are kind of North, but definitely not Panhandle North.
St Augustine was first, 1513, when the Governor of Puerto Rico sailed there and named the entire State. Then other explorers navigated around the coastline and settled in Pensacola in 1559. 46 years after St Augustine
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSLikewise Oregon didn't give anything to Idaho either, as much as some wish they would! Lol Seems very unlikely they will either. State borders mostly don't follow regional cultural boundaries in general (though with some major exceptions). The states haven't changed boundaries since Hawaii and Alaska entered the Union.
St Augustine, JAX, WPB, Miami, Ft Lauderdale, Tampa, Ft Myers were the first European settlements. And Pensacola via the Gulf. So the Panhandle is not even close to being the original Florida.
@@Illmaticgraphics850 tbh, nobody really comes to north Florida. Unless you go to school or partying. Also north Florida should really go to those states I feel
Did u not learn history on Florida the panhandle played and key role in how Florida even became a state when Florida became a state its was three capitals Pensacola Capital of the west and St.Augustine of the East and Tallahassee became the official capital they wouldn’t give up the panhandle cuz that’ll be a big loss because we hold half of the state’s history and Americas history why would Florida give that to Alabama it’s a crown jewel

No doubt, two totally different worlds
Tampa can feel pretty Southern too
Very interesting history Jose. I love it up in the Panhandle/Destin area.

Great History lesson, appreciate you both!
Nicely edited piece. And the thesis makes sense.
Great show, love the history , very enjoyable
Great history lesson , never new ❤I truly enjoyed visiting st . Augustine. If I had my way I would love to live there .
Great video thanks. I always wanted to move to the panhandle and start my farming buisness.
The reason why: Florida wants that important tourist $$$.
Well done,great narrating and i also find it dedicational too.
I loved growing up in Floribama. Such an interesting place to live.
I appreciate the history lesson you would make a great tour guide
The Vikings made it to North America around 1000 AD
I love the panhandle. It’s so beautiful, full of nature
Great history lesson! Thanks ✨

I been to Destin Florida back in 2013 and 2015
fun spot

Even Alabama doesn't want Florida man country....lol
Some people call Myrtle Beach,the most northern part of Florida.
I have the same question with el paso it should have been new mexico
I can see this

Charleston's and Savannahs culture has way more in common with the Mississippi delta than with SW FL
Jamestown is in Virginia, not New England. The town where the pilgrims were believed to have gone is Plymouth Massachusetts.
Fascinating! It seems the culture comes down to the Nature Coast (Levi and Citrus Counties) as well, or maybe it's just me

I always felt like Georgia
Alabama
South Carolina and North Carolina
Was like a extended florida to me lol
Almost like there next door neighbors considering how mad close there are to florida.
I’m glad eye ain’t the only one
I live in Destin and this is definitely NOT Florida
definitely is
@@crashoutfor4way
On paper, yes.
Reality, no.
It’s Alabama.
I mean northern Florida is older then the rest of Florida so it’s old Florida and southern Alabama was part of Florida
@@Illmaticgraphics850
St Augustine, Jacksonville, and SW Florida were the first European settlements.
St Augustine and JAX are kind of North, but definitely not Panhandle North.
i thought pensacola settled before st augustine but it eventually unsettled and that’s why st augustine is considered first
That’s 100% correct my friend
St Augustine was first, 1513, when the Governor of Puerto Rico sailed there and named the entire State.
Then other explorers navigated around the coastline and settled in Pensacola in 1559.
46 years after St Augustine
the panhandle is rightful Alabama clay
Would be nice if they gave the panhandle to Alabama just like how Oregon gave some Republican parts to Idaho.
there is no doubt alabama would want it... but florida aint givin it up LOL
No. Alabama sucks.
Some activist's wish! Oregon hasn't and isn't giving up any counties to Idaho. Lol!

Thank god, it's not. It's tough as it is with Alabama redneckery seeping it's way into Escambia and Santa Rosa.
they think Florida is a free for all buffet
Yeah, I'm from escambia county and boy is it rednecky here
I would say part of North Florida should go to Alabama and other part of North Florida should go to Georgia. I wish they should split up the state.
Why would you want that? North Florida has most of the state’s history 😂😂😂
@@Illmaticgraphics850 tbh, nobody really comes to north Florida. Unless you go to school or partying. Also north Florida should really go to those states I feel
@@losonamissionyea tell that to all the tourists i see in spring and summer
@@crashoutfor4way tbh, the tourist would matter in this situation. They don’t even live in Florida. So why would they have a say in it
