In 1735 Moral Sanchez took the first steps to promote the production of naval stores, spars and masts for to sell them to Cuban shipbuilders (although the subsequent governors did little to continue production).[2] In addition, this year, he allowed the delivery of a benefit than fifty percent of all the goods that traders of Puebla (in the modern Mexico) sent to Florida.
The following year, in 1736, the British captured a Spanish ship carrying supplies and money to the Spanish soldiers of Florida. Due to the shortage of food caused by the capture, Moral decided to pay them with rum in order to try to alleviate their hunger or at least make them forget it temporarily.[3]
Also during his government, Moral Sánchez ask to Captain Rodrigo of Ortega a list with all the names of the Indian provinces and towns, both Christians and Pagans, that once yielded obedience to the Spanish crown. So, the captain made the list. In 1736, a flar-flung mission Florida provinces were reduced to around of Saint Augus tine, increasing the number of Amerindians that settled in the northwestern interior, while were established French and English trading networks.[4] In this year (1736), after establishing peace with English General James Oglethorpe,[5] Moral Sánchez made a treaty with him, through which, he give the English title to the St. John´s River.[6][7] In addition, they agreed in the treaty, control their Indians allied to try to avoid them molesting each other.[8]
In 1737 accepting the Arredondo's recommendation, Moral Sanchez ordered the construction of several boulding and things (a blockhouse, barracks, storehouses and batteries).[9]
Moral Sánchez left his charge as governor of la Florida in March 12, 1737, being replaced by Manuel Joseph de Justís.[1]
