The Tampa Bay Times Newspaper in Education program and Florida Press Educational Services are presenting a teacher webinar introducing the new NIE curriculum supplement, Forgotten Front: Florida During the Revolutionary War.

Forgotten Front explores Florida’s little-known history during the Revolutionary War, including the Battles of Thomas Creek and Alligator Bridge and the Siege of Pensacola. In 1763, France, Britain and Spain signed the Treaty of Paris at the end of the French and Indian War. As part of the treaty, Spain gave up Florida to Britain in exchange for Havana. The British then divided Florida into two territories: East Florida and West Florida, governed from St. Augustine and Pensacola, respectively. East and West Florida were the only two southern colonies to remain loyal to King George III.
