At the end of the paragraph on the action, there is mention of "Creeks" charging the position alongside the Americans. This is the first time this nation is mentioned, and their presence and engagement is otherwise unexplained.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Negro Fort's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

As the edit summary noted -see the diff for the URL above- this concerns the rather unfortunate number play concerning the value of the men Nicolls left as leaders. the Spanish Dollar I.e, the Peso, was legal tender, at par, in the US up until near the Civil War...19571857. (Hadda look the exact date up.) It remained in use in the Southwest into the twentieth century, and, of course, lives on in the use of “two bits” for a quarter, the Pound had a nearly fixed exchange rate with the dollar - every type of dollar, back in the day before they were debased- it was worth about 5 of them, (The Mark, too, fit in with this; it was roughly two bits, as was the Shilling, but that’s not relevant here.)

$500 dollars back in 1815 or so would be roughly 40 grand now, although, of course, the inflation rate varied with different purchases.

If you mean that note about currency, all of which text has been removed, justifies a continung “accuracy disputed” tag, the item disputed no longer being there, I don’t see it.

Regarding the value of the peso, I put quite a bit of work on it, using the silver content and the value of silver.

”I did quite a bit of work on it” should be a clue that WP:OR is a factor, the emphasis on input vs. output when making such an outlandish claim frankly also suggests WP:CIR.

Spanish Dollar, Peso, and Dollar, for only a few, would rapidly put you straight on the use of the Spanish Dollar, getting to understand the difference between intrinsic worth of currency and its value in trading might be a little more involved, so let’s do that later, along with inflation.

PS: checking a few websites for silver value of coins suggests that the intrinsic value of an old peso from the early 1800s runs now from about 14 bucks to 10 (depending on how much silver was rubbed off) just for the metal.

Any article that makes direct, uncritical use of sources like Allman or Nell needs a POV tag, and probably for the article as a whole. Allman’s book isn’t history, it’s a jeremiad. The section quoted from Nell, which ultimately comes from Giddings, is not only a partisan account, it is literally imaginary. It is not based on any account, but on Giddings imagination.

This article is about, or touches on several subjects, some only tangentially related to each other. This article, much like much of the real scholarship, is an example of the Blind men and the elephant.

First, we have what would now be known as a failed state problem. Spanish Florida was unable to control much of its territory next to an expanding United States with a border which was easily crossable both by escaping slaves and by raiding parties driven by politics, by revenge, and by simple criminality. J Q Adams did not support Jackson’s decisions lightly, he disliked slavery...and Jackson as well, come to think of it. It took JQA about a year of plowing through documents before he decided that Jackson took the best course available to him. The article does not reflect this.

The article also glosses over the degree to which the use of the Appalachicola as a supply route was a subterfuge. Some edits take it as a given (which it should not be), but Jackson and Gaines clearly were looking for a chance to do something about it, and Millett makes a strong case that they were going to start something one way or the other, as does Heidler.

Next we have the consequences of British imperial policy. Britain was determined to keep control of its Caribbean assets and saw the expansion of American power as a threat. Nicolls’ actions were not just abolitionism, but plausibly deniable covert action against the US. The article does not reflect this. (Which I’m getting tired of writing.)

Next we have the entire entirely understandable ambitions of slaves seeking freedom, and former slaves wishing to remain free. Some had not “caught the egalitarian spirit of the age,” but had gone AWOL as slaves and serfs always have, given a chance. We don’t, and can’t, know what portion on the inhabitants near Prospect Bluff were committed to a cause, and which merely wished to sit under their own vine. TADNRT.

We have a collision of several models and modes of slavery. Spanish culture had never quite shook the idea that it was wrong to hold a fellow Christian in bondage, and there was no real plantation culture in Spanish Florida, which was seen as not fit for large scale agriculture, but best reserved for growing trees for pine tar and other naval stores. (Southern Georgia was seen in much the same way with federal plans for a largely unpopulated area dedicated to tar and turpentine derailed by squatters who were mostly seen as the dregs of White American society.) Most Floridian Spanish slaves - from which Prospect Bluff’s top leadership was drawn- were city folk, servants or tradesmen, who often worked directly with and for their masters and mistresses, and had to be generally knowledgeable, and generally stood nearer to equality in day-to-day matters, as opposed to gang-labor field hands, who were often seen -and not just by slaveholders -as volatile simpletons who could just manage to handle simple tools...like weapons. This wasn’t racism, per se, but fear of the mob writ large; free whites in similar circumstances were seen the same way, although it obviously took a great deal of doublethink by the slavocracy to blame people for a condition they themselves had imposed on them. TADNRT.

Abolition was gaining traction in Britain, and the drawn-out diplomacy that resulted from Nicolls’ actions reflected this. By the time the last claim was settled, his decisions had the ring of moral authority to his government, while the US simultaneously entered the Gag Rule era, where ideas on slavery, driven out of national discourse, became openly sectional. You see something similar with old Jayhawkers in the US, sadistic violence was seen as “fighting the good fight” in retrospect. TADNRT.

The economics involved are completely ignored. To a mainstream Southron of the day, an escaped slave was the monetary equivalent of a car theft...and not a cheap car, either...without any insurance. The three leaders focused on were valued at about a 25,000 dollars in today’s terms, roughly, although that needs to be taken with two separate grains of salt, since claims on the government are often deliberately inflated, and inflation numbers are always a rough guide, except when reduced to specific purchases, which thankfully are no longer openly available here. TADNRT.

In addition to all of this, in the article itself we have blatant slacktivist coatracking for, roughly, the Confederate Monument removal cause.

Yeah, the thing needs warning tags, and possibly more than a few.

Once the POV and other problems are cleaned up, there is still more to address. The explosion followed closely on a threat to blow up the fort rather than surrender it, which opens several obvious possibilities un-noted here.

The Army-Navy rivalry, and the effect of prize money on Loomis’s actions are untouched. I’d bet there is an entire (yet unwritten) book there, but it is alluded to in plenty of existing sources.

The majority of slaves returned to the US were captured not by the Beastly Buckra, but by the (formerly) Noble (former) Savage. The overwhelming bulk were taken by the Creek. Of the twenty or so which the Army did return, many, maybe over half, were returned to Spanish slaveholders.

The story, far from fading from popular and scholarly sight in the twenties, dropped out around WWII, IMS, just as did other stories from the Revolution and the War of 1812. Twisting the Lion’s tail had passed out of vogue, I suppose, and the major proponent of the subject being a redacted Stalinist did not help either. Aptheker was already rightly a Jonah by the 1950s.

What I see as the best source for -some- aspects of this story, Millett, appears to be being used from GooGoo snippets, not from being read in the round.

Finally, some scholarship is starting to acknowledge that Jackson saw some of his own actions as a regrettable cost of democracy and diplomacy, not as good in themselves; that he saw it impossible for the Civilized Tribes as such to maintain nationhood within the Southern states, especially with an external threat nearby.

I find this is an important article and don't think that it violates significantly the NPOV standard, though it is true that being "neutral" with respect to the specific historic incident related -- and accurately related -- here would be no mean accomplishment.

I do want to point out one other angle of the history that is not mentioned but probably remains to verify. Having worked a good deal in Haiti, I find myself just about convinced that the leader of Negro Fort named as "Garçon" and usually described as a "mulatto" must have been one of those Haitians who spread out across the Caribbean and the southern United States after Haiti beat the French in its War of Independence to try to free slaves elsewhere in the hemisphere. It may have to remain no more than a strong likelihood, but one worth keeping very much in mind. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pabetaber (talk • contribs) 21:51, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-02-01T21:51:00.000Z","author":"Pabetaber","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Pabetaber-2019-02-01T21:51:00.000Z-Extensive_comment.","replies":[]}}-->

Whether this is a mere error, or deliberate misrepresentation, I will leave to the reader to determine, but the cite says explicitly, on page 80, Upon examination of the prisoners it was learned that Daniels, rhe seaman captured from the Luffborough party, had been tarred and burnt alive.

The cited source says as follows:

In the afternoon a solitary figure was discovered on a sandbar near the river mouth. A boat was sent to secure him, when it was found to be John Lopez, a seaman, who turned out to be the only survivor of Luffborough’s party.

This is the page with the links to all the The Florida Historical Quarterly issues. As I said in article edit summary, I don't know why they hide this information.

Can someone explain how if the British withdrew from the fort in 1815 they were a beligerent in July 1816. Yes I know that there were ex-British Colonial Marines, but their employment terminated in 1815.

More correctly Spain should be listed as a beligerent as US forces encroached illegally on Spanish territory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.233.33.115 (talk) 11:20, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-01-28T11:20:00.000Z","author":"92.233.33.115","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-92.233.33.115-2020-01-28T11:20:00.000Z-Beligerents","replies":["c-82.1.7.158-20241014154800-92.233.33.115-2020-01-28T11:20:00.000Z"]}}-->

Presumably because it's noted that the Fort's Defenders had hoisted the Union Flag and therefore asserted British nationality? 82.1.7.158 (talk) 15:48, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241014154800","author":"82.1.7.158","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-82.1.7.158-20241014154800-92.233.33.115-2020-01-28T11:20:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Just wanted to get a quick read on y'all's opinion on this, should a new article be made exclusively for the fortification and settlement, seperate from the article on the battle? - Navarre0107 (talk) 05:51, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-06-25T05:51:00.000Z","author":"Navarre0107","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Navarre0107-2020-06-25T05:51:00.000Z-New_article","replies":["c-Mitchumch-2020-08-28T19:00:00.000Z-Navarre0107-2020-06-25T05:51:00.000Z"]}}-->

Navarre0107 What is the title of this article suppose to be - Negro Fort or Battle of Negro Fort? It's confusing.
