Your reply is a bit disingenuous because you make it seem like it was some serious outpost of Slavery which it was not.
At the time that slave plantation existed there even wasn't a city of Miami. In fact after Slavery ended in 1865 there hardly was any human habitation of significance until Miami was founded 31 years later in 1896.

If you magnify the map twice you will see that Florida let alone southern Florida barely had any Slaves.
