The Huguenots, French Protestants, left Florida primarily due to conflicts with Spanish authorities who were staunchly Catholic and hostile towards non-Catholic groups. Their settlement, established in the 1560s near present-day Jacksonville, faced military pressure and hostility from the Spanish, leading to their eventual defeat in 1565. Additionally, internal divisions and lack of resources contributed to their departure, prompting many Huguenots to seek refuge elsewhere, particularly in more tolerant regions.
