The Adams-Onis treaty of 1819 made Florida a US territory. It was named for John Quincy Adams, the Secretary of State who negotiated the treaty for the US and Luis de Onis, the Spanish foreign minister.
Florida was acquired through the Adams-Onis Treaty with Spain in 1819 but Florida would not become as state until 1845.
Florida was added to the US as a result of this treaty. Spain also dropped claims on Oregon but kept California and Texas.
The Florida cession is when Andrew Jackson claims Florida in 1819 from Spain, by paying 5 million dollars.IMPROVED ANSWER:Lacking mineral wealth, Florida had been nothing but an expensive burden to Spain. Mexico was far more important to Spain. However, Spain demanded a marked boundary between American and Spanish claims in the Far West. President John Q. Adams, quickly agreed, and drew a line across the map from Texas to the Pacific Ocean.The Transcontinental Treaty (aka The Adams ~ Onis Treaty), was signed in February 1819. It was a feat of brilliant diplomacy. In it Spain sold Florida to the United States for $5 million.The transcontinental line through the West did not simply define American and Spanish claims. By extending the line all the way to the Pacific (it is the boundary today between California and Oregon), Adams staked an American claim to the Pacific Coast without spending arms or money. He was one of the first to foresee a transcontinental republic, stretching from sea to sea.
Britain did not obtain Florida. Americans obtained it from Spain for 15 millon dollars by treaty with Spain after victory in war: i got my information from my home schooling program monarch.aop.com :) hope this helps
