America's Untold Story

We travel to Spanish archives to hear the firsthand accounts written in diaries discovered in the Archives of the Indies and in a private collection.

By 1607 when Jamestown was founded, St Augustine was undergoing a renewal, but the English were ready to attack.

In 1763 Spain ceded Florida to England in order to keep its port of Havana. The entire city of St Augustine fled to Cuba and Mexico to avoid British rule.

The British divided Florida into two parts, the 14th and 15th colonies. In 1812 the Patriot's War began, and Florida became US territory.
