"When Britain ceded the territory of West Florida what is now Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida to Spain in 1783, America was still too young to confidently fight in one of Europe endless territorial contests. So it was left to the settlers, bristling at Spanish misrule, to establish a foothold in the area. Enter the Kemper brothers, whose vigilante justice culminated in a small band of American residents drafting a constitution and establishing a new government." amazon.comCollection
