Eager to oblige him, the military commander in town ordered every black man from fifteen to fifty to report to the courthouse, "there to undergo a medical examination, preparatory to embarking for Hilton Head, S.C." Montgomery swept away 126 men.Storm over Key West is a little-known story woven of many threads, but its main theme is the denial to black people of the equality central to the American ideal. After the island's slaves flocked to freedom during the summer of 1862, the white majority began a century-long campaign to deny black residents civil rights, education, literacy, respect, and the vote.

This led to a naval blockade based in Key West that devastated commerce in Florida and beyond.This book is the widest-ranging narrative history to date of the military bastion in the Florida Keys.…
