Governor Benavides reported that "the English will never be satisfied" except by the return of their slaves.10 Despite British intimations of war, the Council of the Indies recommended against returning the escaped slaves.
Governor Montiano restated the crown's offer of freedom to escaped slaves from the English colonies in a Bando issued in 1738, and in the same year he established a settlement for the fugitives, called Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose, about onehalf league north of St. Augustine.
The governor justified his actions on the basis that Mose was vital to the defense and to the agricultural provisioning of St. Augustine, although he admitted that recurrent illnesses among the fls prevented the latter.24 To assuage the fears of the residents, Mose was more heavily fortified in the following years.

The preamble declared (and committed future generations of Americans to the proposition) that “all men are created equal,” and that they possess natural rights that include “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Perhaps most important, the declaration insisted that governments derive their powers only by consent of the governed.

In that year the prospect of war with the French led several of the royal governors to call for a congress of all the colonies, to be held at Albany.
The governor contended that these should be exempt from taxation; the assembly insisted rightly that these estates should bear their one share of the public burdens.
In 1764 Grenville gave notice of his proposed stamp act for defraying part of the expenses of the late war, and Franklin was sent to England as agent for Pennsylvania, and instructed to make every effort to prevent the passage of the stamp act.

 Forfeiture in England and Colonial America
By the seventeenth century crimes that were considered felonies included murder, manslaughter, witchcraft, larceny, abduction of an heiress with intent to marry her, forgery of a deed or testimonial, transportation of a sheep, and malicious cutting of another man's tongue or his eyes [Veall, 1970:2].
Some were royal colonies (such as Virginia) thought to be under direct control of the Crown; others were chartered colonies (e.g., Massachusetts) in which extensive governing rights were given to a charter company; still others were proprietary colonies (e.g., Maryland and Pennsylvania) in which a single owner had been granted vast authority [Hall, 1989:14].
This created a difficult situation, because slaves, in many of the colonies, were considered chattel and could, theoretically, be included as part of a forfeiture if their owner were convicted and attained for a capital felony.
