Answer 1

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 a result of the war and the subsequent Treaty of Paris in 1763, Florida was ceded to Britain by Spain.)

2. Slavery was permitted in Florida to entice Southerners to settle there. (This is also true; to encourage settlement in the territory, especially from Southern colonies, the British permitted slavery.)

The other two statements about West Florida developing at a much faster rate than other parts of the state and the division into four distinct territories are not primarily associated with the changes following the French and Indian War. Therefore, the correct options from your list are:

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