William C C Claiborne as governor of the Mississippi Territory had a very
difficult time with the treatment of Americans (passports, etc) by the
Spanish administration of Florida. The threat from the Spanish was reason
enough for raising a large militia force.
Later while Governor of the Louisiana Territory, Claiborne even threatened
invasion of West Florida.
