Jackson also decided to invade and capture Florida without the approval of anyone. He had his state militia with him. Escaped slaves and Indians were going to Florida, where the British welcomed them. Jackson decided to teach them a lesson and in the process defeated the British and secured Florida for the US.
The President at the time (Monroe? Madison? I don't remember) was furious when the news reached Washington. But by then the war was over and the Florida territory part of the US.
It seems entirely possible that humans ran around in clothing for hundreds of thousands of years before the lice mutated - they didn't necessarily evolve the minute the first person put on a t-shirt.
I saw something very much like one of these once on the surface in very shallow water in the Sarasota Bay, which connects to the gulf of Mexico. It wasn't this big - maybe 10 ft long. And it was darker in color - with some reds.
My daughter is 14 and on the first day of school complained of the intense stink that engulfs the area around the boy's lockers at school. The smell these days is Axe.

After hurricane Andrew hit us in Miami we emerged from our damaged apartment building. I took my eight year old step daughter down to survey the damage. The ground was literally covered with dead birds (sparrows, blackbirds, blue jays, mocking birds). You couldn't walk without stepping on them. It was shocking.
