Slavery in Florida and Marion County   

Florida historically was a refuge for enslaved people, escaping the slave states to be welcomed by native people here and eventually the Spanish. Florida entered the Union as a slave state, 1845, and the last state to be infamously designated. Currently, descendants of slaveholders and enslaved people often share the same surname of residents in Marion County.
