Answer:
Florida's written history begins with the arrival of Europeans; the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León in 1513 made the first textual records.
Explanation:
The history of Florida can be traced to when the first Native Americans began to inhabit the peninsula as early as 14,000 years ago.[1] They left behind artifacts and archeological evidence.
Florida's history was most affected by U.S. foreign relations with the country
called Spain.
Florida was formerly under the Spanish territory until the late 1800s when
East and West Florida was given to the United States. The major difficulty
Spain had was not having enough resources in sending people and troops to settle in the region.
Some parts of Florida was given to the United States in exchange with
settling the boundary dispute along the Sabine River in Spanish Texas which
was done. This occurrences affected and changed Florida history.
