Spain refused to destroy Negro Fort, located in Florida, primarily due to its strategic importance and the political implications of attacking a settlement that housed escaped slaves and Indigenous allies. The fort had become a symbol of resistance against slavery and colonial oppression, making its destruction potentially inflame tensions with the United States and abolitionist movements. Additionally, Spain sought to maintain stability in its territories and avoid conflict with American settlers and their expansionist ambitions.
