The Spanish military leader who played a significant role in regaining Florida from the British and helped draft the Treaty of Paris was Bernardo de Gálvez. He was instrumental in the American Revolutionary War, providing support to the American colonies and leading military campaigns against British forces in the Gulf Coast region. Gálvez's contributions were crucial in strengthening Spain's position in North America and securing Florida for Spain. His efforts in the war and diplomacy helped solidify the relationship between Spain and the newly formed United States.

Andrew Jackson served in the American Revolution. He was very young. A British soldier made him shine his boots and when Jackson refused, he cut Jackson's face. Andrew Jackson stayed in the military and helped the US take over Florida and fought the British at the Battle of New Orleans.
Florida was regained from the British by Spain in 1783 as part of the Treaty of Paris, which concluded the American Revolutionary War. The treaty returned Florida to Spanish control after it had been ceded to Britain in 1763. Spain's involvement in the war against Britain and its subsequent negotiation efforts were crucial in reclaiming the territory.
Before Florida became a U.S. territory, military campaigns in the region were primarily led by Spanish and British forces, as Florida was contested territory between these colonial powers. Notably, the British General James Oglethorpe conducted military operations against Spanish Florida during the early 18th century, particularly during the War of Jenkins' Ear. Additionally, the Spanish military defended the territory against incursions and maintained control until the U.S. acquisition of Florida in 1821.
