After the end of the French and Indian War, the following changes occurred in Florida:

  1. Britain gained control of the territory from Spain. - This is accurate, as the Treaty of Paris in 1763 ceded Florida from Spain to Britain as part of the territorial changes following the war.

  2. Slavery was permitted in Florida to entice Southerners to settle there. - This is also true, as Britain allowed slavery in Florida to encourage settlement from Southern colonists.

The other options regarding the division of territory and the development rates of regions are not accurate representations of the changes that occurred after the French and Indian War.

Thus, the correct responses would be:

  • Britain gained control of the territory from Spain.
  • Slavery was permitted in Florida to entice Southerners to settle there.
