Becoming Spanish in Florida: Georges Biassou and his “Family” in St. Augustine
Abstract
Historian Jane Landers has conducted extensive research on Georges Biassou and black society in Spanish Florida, and her various historical works provide most of what is known about Biassou's experiences there and the perceptions Spanish officials and Anglo American planters had of him. Alternatively, Erica Johnson approaches Biassou as a free man of color from a French colony adapting to life in a Spanish colony to further expand historical understanding of him and others like him.
