Governor Benavides reported that "the English will never be satisfied" except by the return of their slaves.10 Despite British intimations of war, the Council of the Indies recommended against returning the escaped slaves.
Governor Montiano restated the crown's offer of freedom to escaped slaves from the English colonies in a Bando issued in 1738, and in the same year he established a settlement for the fugitives, called Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose, about onehalf league north of St. Augustine.
