In \nNorth Against South\n (1886), the liquid, labyrinthine eco-system of the Everglades served as  a backdrop to the Civil War. Both texts produced contradictory and  complementary figurations of the Sunshine State, ancient and modern,  arid and watery, traversed by history as well as myth.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"<p>Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
