Florida has seen many things forced to come, and forced to go. Both The Swamp by Grunwald, and Land of Sunshine State of Dreams show how everything was essentially forced to be removed, or come to Florida. From trying to force the Native Americans to leave, to draining essential wetlands that were previously regarded as wasteland, and even using DDT to forcibly remove mosquitoes. To Walt Disney being forced out of his 80 acre Disneyland, to expand to his 27,000 acre Disney World. Florida has seen its fare share of expatriation. In this multimedia presentation i will address these issues.
This map shows the population distribution throughout Florida in the 1890's. It's hard to believe that in most of Miami there were less than two people per square mile.
The map on this site shows the old flow of the everglades, and the current flow of the everglades. Even the water had to be sent into exile.

This map shows all of the man made ways we have somehow tried to contain or exile the everglades.
It is amazing how massive an operation it was to clear the land, and build on of the worlds biggest attractions on top of a swamp.
This was a promo for Disney World, the amusement park that ended all other amusment parks in Florida, forcing them to disappear.
