The Adams-Onís Treaty, ratified in 1821, was primarily influenced by the aftermath of the Seminole Wars and the desire of the United States to assert control over Florida. The U.S. sought to resolve ongoing conflicts with Spain regarding territorial boundaries and the presence of Native American tribes. Additionally, diplomatic negotiations between U.S. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams and Spanish Minister Luis de Onís facilitated the agreement, leading to Spain ceding Florida to the United States in exchange for the U.S. assuming certain financial claims against Spain.
