I'm sorry! You are right. I misread the choices. You are correct as to the late 1700s. The battles didn't see much bloodshed, it was more a competition with some disputes over boundaries, etc.
To determine the correct statement that describes the main source of conflict in Florida during the late 1700s, we can use historical knowledge and evaluate each option:
A.) The Americans battled the British for control of Florida.
This option is partially accurate for a different time period, but not during the late 1700s. During this time, the American Revolution was occurring further north, and Florida was still under Spanish control.
V.) The Seminoles battled the Spanish for control of Florida.
The Seminoles did engage in conflict with the Spanish in Florida, but this primarily occurred in the early 1800s after Florida had been transferred to the United States. Therefore, this option doesn't accurately describe the late 1700s.
C.) The British and the Spanish fought the Americans for control of Florida.
This option is incorrect for the late 1700s in Florida because the Spanish still retained control of the region during that time. The British had previously controlled Florida but had ceded it back to Spain in 1783.
D.) Native Americans, British, Spanish, and Americans all fought for control of Florida.
This option presents the most accurate description of the main source of conflict in Florida during the late 1700s. The Native Americans, specifically the Creek Indians, actively engaged in conflict against both the British and the Spanish. Additionally, the Americans had territorial ambitions and sought control of Florida.
Therefore, the correct option is D.) Native Americans, British, Spanish, and Americans all fought for control of Florida.
