Fortification (2)

The problem lies in Florida being the gateway between Virginia and the Caribbean Sea.

If this continues...

"Eventually, it might become difficult to even enter the Caribbean Sea."

"Correct. And in my view, Florida is just the beginning. The will of the Spanish is extraordinarily strong. As I see it, soon the defenses of the entire Spanish colonies will be incomparably thorough."

I'm an ordinary farmer, and Raleigh is a pirate boss (that's a fact), so he probably knows better.

Anyway, if what he says is true... it's a predicament.

More than anything, the strengthening of Florida's defenses means they've explicitly declared their intention to check us in eastern North America.

That is, this settlement becomes endangered.

It means we will inevitably clash with Spain someday.

Moreover, what about the slaves in Florida...? No, it's the same elsewhere.
