most offices at state and local levels elective, and strengthened the powers of
local officials. It also provided for a poll tax, which was enacted by the 1889
legislature. That law effectively kept most black voters away from the pol s.
The Republican Party ceased to be a serious challenge to Democratic con-
trol of the state, and Florida would be a one-party state for many decades.
The years of Reconstruction had been turbulent and traumatic for many
Floridians, and the Democrats successful y used recollections of those years
to cement political control, but there were other important results. There
was a definite shift of the population southward and a corresponding dimi-
nution of the hegemony of Middle Florida planters. The plantation belt re-
mained comparatively static until well into the twentieth century, while the
peninsula, all the way from Jacksonville southward, was settled by both per-
manent inhabitants and winter residents. Many of both groups engaged in
citrus culture and tourism. Others turned to railroad construction to bind
the new section to the rest of the nation. These changes were set in motion
during the Reconstruction era, but their development is a matter for later
chapters.
