Whether through conquest or purchase, all or part of 14 US states, two territories, and a colony (since independent) were at one time under Spanish rule. A large portion of the territory in question was gained from Mexico, itself a former Spanish possession. US territorial gains from Spain occurred in five stages:
In 1819, Spain ceded what is now the state of Florida, the coastal parts of Alabama and Mississippi, as well as the portion of Louisiana not included in former French territory, and a small portion of modern-day Colorado.
The Republic of Texas, which became independent from Mexico in 1836, was annexed to the United States in 1845; the Republic was broken up somewhat, and now forms Texas, eastern New Mexico, the Oklahoma Panhandle, parts of Colorado, and small parts of Wyoming and Kansas.
Western New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado were ceded to the US after the Mexican-American War in 1848.
Southern Arizona and New Mexico were purchased in 1853 (Gadsden Purchase).
In addition to these states, the territories of Puerto Rico and Guam were seized from Spain during the Spanish-American War of 1898, and the Philippines were run as as an American colony until granted independence in 1946.
