In the area of slave law, Miró established new rules that affected both slaves and their masters. Under the French Code Noir (Bl

Spanish slave law respected the rights of slave owners, but also gave slaves the right to complain to the Cabildo about poor treatment. Miró also instituted the Spanish practice of coartación (self-purchase) for slaves. Under this system, slaves could accumulate money and property. If they earned enough, they could even buy their own freedom. If their master did not wish to sell the slave or set a price, the slave could appeal to Spanish authorities and have a price set.

relations between Egypt and Israel.
I think the French allied with a local tribe, and helping the tribe fight the Iroquois was part of the deal. This persuaded the Iroquois to ally with the British.
