Florida creole friars sabotaged 9 new Spanish friars
In 1732 the king sent 9 more peninsulars to the faction-ridden post. The creoles shifted them rapidly from place to place, which made it impossible to learn an Indian language, and withheld part of their rations (Franciscans, 1735; Montiano, 1739). [Note: The Bishop of Durango reported the same shortsighted temporary assignments in the missions of New Mexico.]
