Document Summary
Instead of pushing for religious reform, pushing for secular reform: reform like public schools, prison reform, insane asylum reform, trying to make sure that kids get good education to protect from. Jackson takes this order as an offer to pursue seminoles into florida: this has potential to create international incident/war with spanish. Jackson takes pensacola: finds evidence that spanish and british had been arming indians. And he finds british spies who he executes: spanish protesting, monroe asks what they"re going to do about it, calhoun says that they could arrest jackson since he went outside of orders. Instead of arresting jackson they send delegates to spain: come to an agreement that spanish will sell florida, adams-oneice treaty, war avoided and instead of jackson being arrested, jackson is made territorial governor of florida. In late 18teens and 1820s there was feeling that slavery needed to be put to bed.
