Britain used Pensacola, FL, as a naval base during the War of 1812. Pensacola was captured by the Americans in 1814. Spain agreed to transfer Florida to the United States in 1819, and the take -over was completed in 1821. Andrew Jackson briefly served as provisional governor. Florida was organized as a territory in 1822, opening the area up to much settlement. Conflicts exploded between Seminole Indians and white settlers, with the latter victorious in the Second Seminole War of 1835-1842. Florida entered the Union as a slave state on March 3, 1845. By 1860 its population was about 140,000, of which 63,000 were African Americans. It seceded from the Union on January 10, 1861
