Unsigned comment, May 2011
editWe should get citations for this article. The facts are skewed. The slaves were not escaping from Georgia, as Georgia did not permit the practice of slavery until 1749. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.92.249.248 (talk) 17:51, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Zambo ?
editI had to go to the link to find out what the word means. It appears to be the Spanish & Portuguese equivalent of the English word "Sambo", meaning person of mixed black & American Indian ancestry. Since this article is in the English-language portion of Wikipedia, shouldn't the English spelling be used? Terry Thorgaard (talk) 16:27, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
Contradictory information regarding the date of the Spanish attack
editThe introductory section gives June 26, 1740, while the "Battle" section gives June 15 (presumably also 1740). Is this perhaps due to the use of different calendars? Terry Thorgaard (talk) 16:41, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
"Mose", not "Mosé"
editAs discussed at Talk:Fort Mose Historic State Park, the spelling of "Mose" does not have an accented character. It's pronounced "MO-say," not "mo-SAY." — ℜob C. alias ALAROB 13:58, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
