The last confrontation of the American Revolution was recorded in the Florida Parishes some 27 years after the end of military hostilities and the subsequent political resolution, according to research done by historian Don Sharp. He feels that the final resolution of the conflict actually came with the raising of the American Flag in Madisonville in 1811.
Sharp sees the upcoming celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence as a great time to focus on the part played by pioneer residents of St. Tammany and Tangipahoa Parish residents.
