V roce 1803 koupily Spojen\u00e9 st\u00e1ty od Francie Louisianu, ale \u0160pan\u011blsko zpochybnilo zahrnut\u00ed Z\u00e1padn\u00ed Floridy do jej\u00edch hranic. Navzdory americk\u00fdm n\u00e1rok\u016fm se prezident Thomas Jefferson vyhnul st\u0159etu se \u0160pan\u011blskem a dovolil mu oblast do\u010dasn\u011b spravovat.<\/p>\n\n
V roce 1808 jmenovalo \u0160pan\u011blsko guvern\u00e9rem Z\u00e1padn\u00ed Floridy Charlese Delassuse. Jeho zkorumpovan\u00e1 a neschopn\u00e1 spr\u00e1va vyvolala nespokojenost mezi americk\u00fdmi kolonisty, kte\u0159\u00ed \u017e\u00e1dali politick\u00e9 reformy. Delassus p\u0159edst\u00edral spolupr\u00e1ci, zat\u00edmco tajn\u011b pl\u00e1noval potla\u010den\u00ed nesouhlasu.<\/p>\n\n
V roce 1810 se ameri\u010dt\u00ed kolonist\u00e9 veden\u00ed Philemonem Thomasem zmocnili pevnosti San Carlos v Baton Rouge a zah\u00e1jili povst\u00e1n\u00ed na Z\u00e1padn\u00ed Florid\u011b. \u0160pan\u011blsk\u00e1 pos\u00e1dka byla b\u011bhem n\u011bkolika minut pora\u017eena, co\u017e znamenalo za\u010d\u00e1tek nejkrat\u0161\u00ed revoluce v historii.<\/p>\n\n
Po dobyt\u00ed pevnosti San Carlos vyhl\u00e1sili povstalci Republiku Z\u00e1padn\u00ed Floridy a nahradili \u0161pan\u011blskou vlajku modr\u00fdm praporem s b\u00edlou hv\u011bzdou. Spojen\u00e9 st\u00e1ty, kter\u00e9 rozpoznaly p\u0159\u00edle\u017eitost k \u00fazemn\u00ed expanzi, povst\u00e1n\u00ed opatrn\u011b podpo\u0159ily.<\/p>\n\n
Povst\u00e1n\u00ed na Z\u00e1padn\u00ed Florid\u011b se stalo katalyz\u00e1torem Manifest Destiny, v\u00edry, \u017ee Spojen\u00e9 st\u00e1ty jsou p\u0159edur\u010deny k expanzi na z\u00e1pad p\u0159es severoamerick\u00fd kontinent. Poskytlo model pro z\u00edsk\u00e1v\u00e1n\u00ed nov\u00fdch \u00fazem\u00ed bez v\u00e1lky nebo kompenzace.<\/p>\n\n
Inspirov\u00e1ny povst\u00e1n\u00edm na Z\u00e1padn\u00ed Florid\u011b n\u00e1sledovaly dal\u0161\u00ed \u00fazem\u00ed. V letech 1835-36 se Texas vzbou\u0159il proti Mexiku, p\u0159ijal vlajku Z\u00e1padn\u00ed Floridy s osam\u011blou hv\u011bzdou a nakonec se v roce 1845 p\u0159ipojil ke Spojen\u00fdm st\u00e1t\u016fm. V roce 1846 vyhl\u00e1sila Kalifornsk\u00e1 republika nez\u00e1vislost na Mexiku, co\u017e vedlo k americko-mexick\u00e9 v\u00e1lce a z\u00edsk\u00e1n\u00ed rozs\u00e1hl\u00fdch \u00fazem\u00ed na jihoz\u00e1pad\u011b.<\/p>\n\n
A\u010dkoli Z\u00e1padofloridsk\u00e1 republika trvala jen n\u011bkolik m\u011bs\u00edc\u016f, jej\u00ed vliv na americkou historii byl hlubok\u00fd. Dok\u00e1zala, \u017ee Spojen\u00e9 st\u00e1ty mohou z\u00edsk\u00e1vat \u00fazem\u00ed prost\u0159ednictv\u00edm diplomacie a povst\u00e1n\u00ed, ani\u017e by se uch\u00fdlily k tot\u00e1ln\u00ed v\u00e1lce. Tak\u00e9 podn\u00edtila v\u00edru v Manifest Destiny a p\u0159ipravila p\u016fdu pro expanzi Spojen\u00fdch st\u00e1t\u016f na z\u00e1pad.<\/p>\n\n
Povst\u00e1n\u00ed na Z\u00e1padn\u00ed Florid\u011b sehr\u00e1lo z\u00e1sadn\u00ed roli ve vypuknut\u00ed americko-mexick\u00e9 v\u00e1lky. Anexe Texasu Spojen\u00fdmi st\u00e1ty, kter\u00e1 byla inspirov\u00e1na p\u0159\u00edkladem Z\u00e1padn\u00ed Floridy, vyost\u0159ila nap\u011bt\u00ed s Mexikem. V\u00e1lka vedla k tomu, \u017ee Spojen\u00e9 st\u00e1ty z\u00edskaly od Mexika rozs\u00e1hl\u00e1 \u00fazem\u00ed, v\u010detn\u011b Kalifornie a jihoz\u00e1padu.<\/p>\n\n
Jako historik se domn\u00edv\u00e1m, \u017ee povst\u00e1n\u00ed na Z\u00e1padn\u00ed Florid\u011b bylo v kronik\u00e1ch americk\u00e9 historie do zna\u010dn\u00e9 m\u00edry p\u0159ehl\u00ed\u017eeno. Bylo to v\u00edc ne\u017e jen mal\u00e9 povst\u00e1n\u00ed nepoddajn\u00fdch kolonist\u016f. Byla to kl\u00ed\u010dov\u00e1 ud\u00e1lost, kter\u00e1 utv\u00e1\u0159ela pr\u016fb\u011bh americk\u00e9ho expanzionismu a p\u0159ipravovala p\u016fdu pro vzestup Spojen\u00fdch st\u00e1t\u016f jako glob\u00e1ln\u00ed mocnosti.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
