We realize that only a small fraction of our subscribers are Florida teachers. But for History teachers anywhere, the site provides an excellent model for dealing with “home front” issues related to any foreign conflict.
The site naturally includes a rich collection of background readings, primary source artifacts, and links to supporting resources. The core of the website, however, is the section entitled, “War Comes to Florida.” The introduction to this section provides the context for the themes that follow:
Economics
Women
Race
Florida Goes Overseas
Military
