Why did carolina's governor complain that slaves were running daily to florida florida offered a better climate especially for older people?

Respuesta :

Prior to 1819, Florida was Spanish Land. Spain didn't have or support slavery. Florida was freedom if you were close enough. 

The correct answer is B) freedom dues were greater in Florida.

Carolina's governor complained that slaves were running daily to Florida because freedom dues were greater in Florida.

Freedom dues were the payments servants received after the completion of their contracts. When slaves were freed, they could receive a portion of land, tools, clothing, tools, or products. It depended on the kind of work he did or to whom worked for. So that is why the governor of Carolina complained about slaves leaving the state to go to Florida. Indeed freedom dues were greater in Florida.

The other options of the question were a) Florida offered a better climate, c) religious restrictions on slaves were greater in Carolina, and d) Spaniards paid them wages and introduced them into Catholicism.
