This would not change the fact that the French and Spanish still had considerable territories in the Mississippi Florida borderlands. The American and French Revolutions would affect North America just as they would affect Europe. The consequences of the French Revolution were the “projected assaults launched from the United States on Madrid’s exposed North American possessions.” The British, in the aftermath of the Revolutionary War, would cede Florida to the Spanish. In Narrett’s opinion, this is one of the more “overlooked consequences of the War.” In the latter stages of the conflict, Florida was a place of refuge for British loyalists and slaves. “More than 5,000 whites and 8,200 slaves entered the province.” This also brought with it fear that in their exodus, loyalists would remain under Spanish
