Intolerance in The Sunshine State — An Analysis
In the early 1500s the Spanish Conquistadors came to the shores of what is now known as Florida (Flowery Land in Spanish). At that time the area was populated by groups of Paleo-Indians whose lives were about to change drastically for the worse.

They also want popularly elected leaders replacing Al-Khalifa rule. It’s despotic, ruthless and intolerable.
