Gregor MacGregor Flag (1817)

image by Jorge Candeias, 20 February 2005

An expedition into the Spanish territory led by Gregor MacGregor, a veteran of South American revolutions. The group occupied Amelia Island on June 20, 1817. Four months later they were forced to leave.
Dov Gutterman, 12 October 1998

After the McGregor effort failed a surviving band of his men threw in their lot with Louis Aury, a privateer under commission to the revolutionary Republic of Mexico, and the then-current flag of Mexico flew over Amelia Island for awhile.
