Answer:

Risk people took to gain freedom

Step-by-step explanation:

In late 1680s, Fort muse was known for providing Asylum's for the slaves who ran away from their plantation in order to achieve freedom. At that time, many of the slaves from Virginia colony decided to ran away from the plantation. They risk everything for this decision, including the fact that they will be hunted down by mercenaries hired by the slave owners to bring them back to the plantation.

At that time Governor Montiano of Florida allowed these runaway slaves to seek protection inside the Fort. They were provided with foods, shelter, and various jobs opportunity afterwards.
