De Gálvez helped to draft the 1763 Treaty of Paris, which gave control of Spain to Florida.

De Gálvez led Spanish forces to New Orleans, where they defeated the British and regained control of the Mississippi.

Explanation

Bernardo de Gálvez, the Spanish governor of Louisiana, led campaigns against British positions in the Gulf region during the Revolution. By capturing British strongholds, his forces weakened Britain and helped the American colonists’ cause.
