	Florida's Government
		Florida's government is set up with the same system as our national government, but it is a government set up for the people in Florida.
		The first elected governor of Florida as a state was William D. Moseley, who served from 1845 to 1849.
		Before Florida was a state, it was a U.S. territory, and the governor was appointed by the President rather than elected by the people.

	Florida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Florida is situated mostly on a large peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Straits of Florida.
		Florida has the highest average precipitation of any state, in large part because afternoon thunderstorms are common in most of the state from late spring until early autumn.
		Until the mid-twentieth century, Florida was the least populous Southern state; however, the local climate, tempered by the growing availability of air conditioning, made the state a haven, and migration from the Rust Belt and the Northeast sharply increased the population.
