What happened to runaway slaves who escaped to florida?
hunted by osceola in exchange for rewards from the united states
largely ignored by planters eager to settle the new territory
protected in the remaining spanish towns in the south
sheltered by the seminoles and allowed to join their tribes

Rnaway slaves who escaped to Florida were sheltered by the Seminoles and allowed to join their tribes. Option D is correct.

Slaves escaping plantations in the American South first started heading to Spanish Florida in the late 1600s when Spain granted freedom to fugitives who agreed on protecting the Spanish crown. By the 1780s black fugitives formed and forged strategic alliances with the Seminole Indians, who had relocated from Alabama as well as Georgia, granted shelter and allowed fugitives to join their tribes.

- "made the south's economy grow rapidly and a small effect that a lot of people don't know is that it made the more demand of slaves and cotton products. and also new states formed due to plantations growing in size."
