History since independence: After the dissolution of the United States, Florida underwent a brief period of martial law under the control of the then Governor Rick Scott. Growing unrest caused Governor Scott (as he continued to call himself) to call elections after 2 years at which time he was soundly voted out of office. Since that time, Florida's government has stabilized. Political control is split between the Progressive Party and the Republican Party.
