Answer 1

The correct answer is B. it led to General Jackson's troops' first invasion of the territory.

Spain's refusal to destroy Negro Fort, which was a stronghold for runaway slaves and Native Americans, contributed to tensions that prompted General Andrew Jackson to lead military actions in Florida. This was part of a broader context of conflicts involving U.S. interests and the Seminole tribe in the region, ultimately leading to the First Seminole War.
