Sorry - not saying that Florida or Texas don't have the same experience - just that Stanford should know better being literally in a former Spanish colony.

> Spanish Florida (Spanish: La Florida) was the first major European land claim and attempted settlement in North America during the European Age of Discovery.

Is this not widely known?

Yes - sorry - my point was more that Stanford IS IN a former colony and should know better on some of this stuff (not that Florida isn't a former holding etc.)
