Montiano’s Bio, by David Arias The British had captured Fort Mose, but Montiano recovered it in June, after a battle that left 68 soldiers dead and 34 taken prisoner. ...He continued reinforcing the forts, mainly Fort Mose, which was defended by slave soldiers who had recovered their liberty. These men had come to the Spanish territory, were baptized and now served the king and the Church. The escape of black slaves to Florida in order to recover their freedom was a constant source of conflict between England and Spain.
