Answer:
The year 1763 was a glorious one for the proud British Empire. England finally had triumphed over France after fighting to a standstill for almost a century, from 1689 to 1763. As a result of the Treaty of Paris of 1763, following the French and Indian War (1754-1763), England acquired Spanish Florida and French Canada.1 The British divided Florida into two provinces or colonies, West and East Florida. West Florida included the southern half of present-day Mississippi.
Specifically, West Florida was a small rectangular region straddling the Gulf of Mexico from lakes Pontchartrain and Maurepas and the Mississippi River on the west, to the Chattahoochee and Apalachicola rivers on the east, and extending north as far as an imaginary line running due east from the confluence of the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers. It included the old Spanish port of Pensacola and the former French settlements of Mobile, Biloxi, and Natchez.2
