Spain, under the Adams-Onís Treaty.
No, the Cortes Generales rejected the Treaty as did the Prime Minister. The Queen Regent signed it and that made it legal under the Spanish Constitution.
The Spanish secretly held claim to Louisiana after the Treaty of Fountainbleu (1762), but did not take possession until 1764. It was transferred back to France for the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Spain supported the colonials against Great Britain, and gave the US use of the Mississippi River under Pinckney's Treaty (1795). Spain revoked this in 1799, but also temporarily blocked the use of New Orleans from 1799 to 1801 and denied permission to Lewis and Clark for their expedition up the Missouri River. This moved Thomas Jefferson to initiate the Louisiana Purchase, because France had (again secretly) regained the territory under the Treaty of San Ildefonso in 1800.
Under the Treaty of Paris, Spain agreed to cede the Philippines to the United States in exchange for $20 million. This marked the end of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines and the beginning of American colonization.
