Just remember the saying the farther north you go in Florida the more southern you get. The northerns converge at the very southern parts of the state (a lot in swfl) making it a very northern type setting...

True...but even in swfl there is a strong Southern Heritage



After the War, like President Jefferson Davis, The Secretary of State for the Confederacy fled from the Yankees after Lee surrendered. It was South West Floridans that hid Confederate Sec. of State Judah P. Benjamin at The Gamble Plantation in Manatee County.

Some Real-estate agencies are causing the greatest damage to Florida's uniqueness as a State. They continue to advertise to places where people have nothing in common with us...to people who do not assimilate into their environment but rather seek to destroy it and replace it with something they brought with them. They think Northerners will only visit North Florida....they even label them "Snow Birds" so we can keep them separate at least while there here in the winter months. But this is a fools paradise...and soon....if they don't stop this ignorant selfish behavior, North Florida will suffer the same cultural genocide that South Florida endured.....the Yankees who once only visited will begin to buy property, begin to vote, begin to impose their ways of living and belief systems on our families.....on our children. Native Floridans on County Commissions, Development Boards, City Councils and other government agencies will start loosing their voice in their communities, because they will start loosing the vote and their jobs! I hope we all take note of the real estate companies in our communities and what they're up too. Because what they are doing will have far-reaching effects for all of us.

People from the Northern USA, South America and the Caribbean have greatly improved South Florida and they will do the same for North Florida.
Things change.

People from the North have ruined South Florida...they are the only reason people in the rest of the country have no respect for the state as a whole. But if Southerners unite... anything is reversible..anything is stoppable.

Without the money the northerners brought with them, FL would be like Mississippi.
