Andrew Jackson
When Spain had control of Florida, the Americans sent Andrew Jackson to stop Spain from attacking, instead, he took full control of Florida and Spain gave it over the USA in a treaty.
Andrew Jackson was sent to Georgia to chase a tribe of Seminole Indians back into Florida who had been raiding and damaging plantations because there were no rich people or plantations in the Spain territory of Florida.
That territory was Florida, which the Spanish were apparently unable to control.
In 1819, Spain ceded Florida to the USA in exchange for the USA's renunciation of any claims on Texas plus a payment of $5million. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida#History
The United States did not purchase a state from Spain for $5 million in 1877. However, the U.S. did purchase the territory of Florida from Spain in 1819 for $5 million through the Adams-OnΓs Treaty.
