The Spanish government assumed that the boundary was the same as in the 1763 agreement by which they had first given their territory in Florida to Britain, claiming that the northern boundary of West Florida was at the 32° 22′ boundary established by Britain in 1764 after the Seven Years' War.
O Goberno español asumiu que a fronteira era a mesma que no acordo de 1763 polo que entregaran o seu territorio floridano a Gran Bretaña, así que reclamaron que a fronteira setentrional da Florida Occidental estaba no paralelo 32° 22′ Norte segundo estableceuse cos británicos en 1764 despois da Guerra dos Sete Anos.
