The first free settlement of Africans in America was established in 1738 in what is now known as Fort Mose, Florida. It was founded by escaped slaves from the British colonies who sought refuge under Spanish rule, as Spain offered freedom to those who converted to Catholicism and served in the military. Fort Mose became a significant symbol of resistance and autonomy for African Americans in the colonial era.
