`The Battle of Pensacola was one of the numerous battles fought as a result of the American Revolution.  In 1763, the British had taken control of Pensacola due to the French and Indian War final negotiations, also known as The Treaty of Paris. The British Royal Navy feared attack for many years but did not face adversity until Spanish general, Don Bernardo de Galvez plotted his plan for the recapture of the city in 1780. Bernardo and his Spanish army along with Andrew Jackson and American volunteers fought together to successfully seize the five British forts in Pensacola: Fort Conde (Fort Charlotte), Royal Navy Redoubt, Fort George, Queen’s Redoubt, and Prince of Wales Redoubt). Unable to defend themselves, the British surrendered. On May 10, 1781, General John Campbell raised the white flag to the Spanish and American troops. Pensacola would remain in Spanish control for the next 40 years until American negotiations pushed the Spanish to renounce their control of the city in 1819.
