Answer 1

The correct answer is B. To make more manageable colonies, Spanish Florida was divided into British West Florida and British East Florida.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Treaty of Paris was signed on February 10, 1763, ending the Seven Years' War. This treaty provided England with great territorial gains in the colonial world. After the French and Indian War it acquired almost all of the French possessions on the North American continent, including Canada, and Florida, which until then had been Spanish property. However, the areas west of the Mississippi (from California to Texas) became Spanish property. After acquiring the peninsula, the British divided Florida into two colonies, one to the east and one to the west of it.
