Description

En 1740, San Agustín, la primera ciudad creada en el actual territorio de Estados Unidos, escaseaba en efectivos frente a colonias inglesas como Georgia, aunque estaba defendida por el cuasi inexpugnable castillo de San Marcos. Un edicto del gobernador de la Florida española, Manuel de Montiano, otorgaba la libertad a los esclavos que huían de las colonias inglesas de ultramar a territorio español. Estos esclavos liberados y algunos indios seminolas vivían en el fuerte de Santa Teresa de Mosé, un pequeño fuerte fronterizo entre la Florida y Georgia, el primer asentamiento legal de negros libres de América del Norte. En este marco, el fundador y gobernador del estado de Georgia, James Edward Oglethorpe, decide tomar el fuerte Mosé como línea de suministros de un nuevo asedio a la ciudad de San Agustín. English: In 1740, St. Augustine, the first city created in the current territory of the United States, was short of troops against English colonies such as Georgia, although it was defended by the almost impregnable St. Mark's Castle. An edict from the governor of Spanish Florida, Manuel de Montiano, granted freedom to slaves fleeing the English overseas colonies into Spanish territory. These freed slaves and some Seminole Indians lived at Fort Santa Teresa de Mosé, a small border fort between Florida and Georgia, the first legal settlement of free blacks in North America. It was here that the founder and governor of the state of Georgia, James Edward Oglethorpe, decided to take Fort Moses as a supply line for a new siege of the city of St. Augustine.
