A Matter of Interest

Reading about the time when Winter Park was established and how the city limits were marked out, there were a couple of things i found very interesting. Hannibal Square was out of the Winter Park boundaries, it was early after the establishment of Winter Park that the discussion about if it should be included as part of the city or not was raised. What I found interesting and shocking in a way was that the number of black people in Winter Park would outnumber the number of white people, and the political party that was "afraid" of this were the democrats. The fact is that there were more republican people that had done bussiness with the black people in Hannibal Square community and they seemed to have a good relationship, so the democrats were concerned that the would support the republicans in the election, so they were the ones opposing to Hannibal Square to be included into Winter Park boundaires.
