The Spanish settled in the west indies, also known as the carabean. The current state of Florida was spanish territory during the colonial era. St. Augustine was the first Spanish settlement in colonial America and the colony of Georgia was founeded in part to protect the remainder of the colonies from spanish encroachment from Florida. Both Roanoke and Jamestown Settlers were instructed to form defensive settlements to protect the coast of the current US from Spanish pirates and raiders.
