During the Second Spanish Period in Florida (which began in 1783 and ended in 1821), the following occurrences are relevant:
-
A large number of Patriots and Loyalists from northern states moved to Florida - This is true. Following the American Revolutionary War, many Loyalists sought refuge in Florida, which was under Spanish control at that time.
-
The Treaty of Paris (1763) gave Florida to Spain - This is incorrect. The Treaty of Paris in 1763 actually ceded Florida from Spain to Britain. Spain regained Florida in 1783 through the Treaty of Paris that ended the American Revolutionary War.
-
Pinckney’s Treaty established the northern boundary of Florida - This is true. Pinckney’s Treaty, signed in 1795, defined the boundaries between the U.S. and Spanish territories, including the northern boundary of Florida.
-
Significant battles of the Revolutionary War took place - This is misleading. While Florida was involved during this period, it was not a major battleground for significant battles of the Revolutionary War.
In summary, the correct statements that occurred during the Second Spanish Period are: A large number of Patriots and Loyalists from northern states moved to Florida and Pinckney’s Treaty established the northern boundary of Florida.
