Abstract
After 20 years of British rule, Florida reverted to a Spanish colony after the America Revolution. This political change opened an opportunity for the enslaved population to challenge the authority of their enslavers as British colonists fled the now Spanish colony in order to live in the British Empire. This article demonstrates how the transition gave enslaved people leverage to negotiate for better living conditions by using time as a tool of resistance.
