King Philip V nearly tripled the Florida Indian fund
Although Philip V had nearly tripled the Indian fund in 1716, its new figure of 6000 pesos was still inadequate, because the Lower Creeks followed the Yamasee lead, appearing in St. Augustine to offer their friendship and ask for gifts. Between 1717 and 1721 the cost of servicing Florida's Indian alliances averaged 9516 pesos a year.
